I don't know why people are so down on Sam, he did very well for himself. Hell I thought he was going to be another David Izon or Friday Ahunaya, but he was a lot better than them. He wasn't all good and he wasn't all bad, he was a durable fighter with decent power but didn't fully commit himself to training...not that it would matter in the fights he has lost.

I think he could have chosen some better matches and in hindsight he should have gone for the WBA strap instead of the IBF or WBC.

I think Povetkin and Solis are bigger disappointments...great amateur backgrounds and 0 to show for it.
