Most disappointing African American fighter of the last 5 years?

Jermain Taylor was a huge HBO hype job.

 

Void gayweather.. Pleaded guilty to avoid Pac

 

because he was hurt you stupid ****, wasn't his fault and he hasn't disappointed in the ring, hell in my book he beat froch.

 

don't be talking **** about jermain taylor, my boy from arkansas has got better skills than the other two. Beating bhop twice does not make you a disappointment.

If anyone has been disappointing its been BHOP, can't stand the man, he has intelligence but he doesn't have any skills, uses cheap tactics to win a fight. This isn't marciano eras where you should be able to eye gouge somene and get away with it.

 

actually there were disgraceful Ali clones and RJJ clones before that

 

Floyd.

no floyd - pac

no floyd - cotto

no floyd - margarito.

Floyd vs. a younger Shane would have been a great fight. Too many fights he managed to slip around.

 

umm Zab Judah?

 

Many fans feel that Direll did not live up to his potential in the Super Six. And this is a poll, so there should be room for subjective opinions. Whats the point if the TS leaves out options he thinks is not valid?

 

Not american but african

Joshua cottey

 

Since when does a heart transplant equal "some fine tuning" ?

Not sure if you realize it, but boxers get hit very often, full-force, on their jaw. Often more than 50 times per fight, are those also nearly-career ending events? I guess Dr. Shaw-Hi is your reference?

There's a reason Dirrel is black-listed by all major boxing channels. He's lucky to land a fight on ESPN, where they've probably hired a technician to digitally remove his tears when he starts crying again.

 

Bob Arum killed the Pac, Cotto, and Margarito fights.

And do I really need to show you the video of Mosley ducking Floyd because of toothache. Mosley never even gave a damn about Floyd until 2008 after his fights he became a super draw after his fights with DLH and Hatton.

 

You say Euro style like its a bad thing. Plenty of Euopean fighters in boxing today are world class. I would actually value the European style over all this slick **** you keep talking about. For 99 per cent of boxer who ty to employ a 'slick' style it is over substance, just look at Adian Broner if you dont believe me.

 

Definitely alexander in my opinion.

Jermain got a gift against nard but deserved the rematch victory. That alone puts him in an elite group of 40 or so mw's who've reached the top of the tree.

Lacy was a hype train, but well deserved in my opinion, going into the calz match I had him the best smw in the world, again putting him in an elite group of fighters.

Devon, well circumstances blinded us I feel, consecutive stoppages against witter and urango looked amazing but with hindsight we can conclude that one was an evenly fought match before a shoulder injury and the other an evenly fought match before a hail mary shot. Like mw I picked devon to clean up the division and become the next p4p star. However 3 consecutive losses soon put to bed any notion of him being elite and unlike the other two, I never had him as the best in the division.

 

Dirrell only has himself to blame for losing against Froch, it was his fight to win. Shame he turned up to a boxing match with running shoes and thought that running, posing and falling over everytime Froch came near was a sure fire way to win on foriegn ground, for all his talent what a prize tit Dirrell is.
