fighters that you thought would do greats things but never quite made it

[Jimanuel Boogustus]

Meldrick Taylor - after the chaves fight, forget it

JT- yeah he's the champ, yeah he's undefeated but i expected so much more like his improvements in the ring. don't know for some reason just doesn't do it for me.

Joel Julio - i know HBO had high hopes for him

Terry Norris - man this guy was something but what happened to all those mega fights that could have happened and never did?

Love Child! Haha i forgot about that guy

Actually, that says a lot

[Tysonbruno]

Howard Eastman. If there is a more frustrating boxer out there someone let me know who he is.

Could'nt agree more i love Howard but god he can be negative at times

norris had some great fights but what let him down was getting dq thats where 3 out of his 9 losses come from and plus his chin wasnt all that great mate

[mike_tha_man]

good point DQs to a bum like Santana suck but even if he didn't win i would have liked him to fight some better fighters throughout his career

[porkypara]

Naz.

First step into p4p teritory and he got beat.

Naz was a great british fighter and if Ricky Hatton and Joe Calzaghe are best of british then we have problems

MIKE TYSON should have accomplished so much more!
JEFF LACY i thought would destroy all super middles
LARRY HOLMES holmes dosent get the recognition he deserves.Why?not sure,i think it had something to do with his shite personality and the fact that he came out of ali's shadow..........i think holmes was better than ali......i put holmes in the top 5 HW of all time,but not to many people consider holmes that great and its a shame.....he is very underrated

Hate this kind of topic....

Francisco Bojado

Spadafora
'Mi Vida Loca' Tapia
Gabriel & Rafael Ruelas

Tapia? Really. He did a lot in his career.

Yeah! he did a lot but I thought he could have done A LOT more then what he did especially at Bantam & Super Bantam where I think he could have possibly sealed himself as an ATG.....

Hate this kind of topic....

Francisco Bojado

Spadafora
'Mi Vida Loca' Tapia
Gabriel & Rafael Ruelas

Spadafora was great..Shot his girlfriend or something didnt he?

Gabriel looked great on his comeback against gatti but got ko'd.. Before that didnt one of his opponents die? Fighters are never the same after something like that..

Is spadafora still defeated now?.. I think he made a small time comeback recentley?!
Peace

Yeah! Spada shot his girl in the stomach.....

Jimmy Garcia passed away due to injuries sustained after his bout with Gabriel Ruelas.....
And your right fighters are never the same after an incident like that Jesus Chavez, Mancini, Griffith.

Spada is still undefeated and he just fought in Nov. 2006 and is scheduled to fight tonight against Oisin Fagan whos 17-3 but hasn't lost since 2004 and is on a 11 fight wining streak....

Almost forgot about Ben Tackie

[THE THIRD MAN]

A little known fighter called Engels Pedroza who won his first 19 fights by knockout including 13 in the first round! Most of these fights were in Las Vegas and he showed great promise then ran into Mike Johnson who put out his lights in 9 after Pedroza was leading on all scorecards This guy was good but failed to live up to early promise.
