Jorge Linares. Not sure he's gone bust but he got KO'd last time out and he was without a doubt hyped up and thought of as a sure thing.
I can remember back before the Pastrana loss that Escalante was pretty hyped.

Linares I guess did win a belt so he reached the top, but his fall from grace has been pretty huge. I mean he looked a future p4p star a couple years ago and now.........

Sechew Powell was expected to be on a course for a world title which is why I included him.
