I remember when he lost to baldomir he almost blew the whole fight with Mayweather!

Zab has so many. Pineda was another one.

Foreman - Young ... Big George was ridding high after getting up v.s. Lyle and crushing Joe again ... Sports Illustrated had him as "The Main Man in the Division Again ...

Danny Romero had the world at his feet in 1995.

Young,undefeated and already a multi weight world champ when he had a took a tune up (or a keep in shape fight anyway) against oft beaten journeyman Willy Salazar.

He got a broken orbital bone and his first loss in this fight and whilst having a decent career he never reached the heights touted for him earlier on.

I suppose George Chip-Al McCoy is another prime example of this.

frankenfrank · 09-25-2011, 08:55 AM

Jones vs Clay

cuchulain · 09-25-2011, 07:17 PM

Miranda facing Pavlik.

Pretty much put an end to Edison's hype.

On the same subject (though not a tune-up), Pavlik taking on Bhop.

Beginning of the end for the ghost.
