Edwin Valero comes to mind. He was a promising fighter with a lot of potentials. It was a pity that his head injury placed some limitations on where he can fight and his early demise put some mystery on how big he could have been.

Ryan Rhodes
he has had a good career and i'm not sure he would have ever been dominant at the top for long but he was really close to winning a world title. I think he lost some desire after getting beat and he has come back well the last couple of years but maybe too late for that elusive world title, i think he'll be lucky to get another crack and if he does he will more than likely be too old to stay there for long.

He was 14 and 0 with 11 K.Os before he faced Resto with plastered gloves. He had a LOT of heart and he had the will of a champion. R.I.P.

An excellent fighter but I still think he needs to prove himself by fighting an opponent with equal or greater skills, like Lopez.
