    1. I don't really think being a 2 time unified undisputed HW champion really cuts it for wasting your talent. If he has done anything in his life it's using his talent. Ofcourse he could have done more but that isn't about him wasting his talent.


    For me a guy who wastes his talent is someone who doesn't train hard enough and isn't really dedicated.


    For me I always tend to wonder what Corrie could have done if he got his **** together.

    Ricky Hatton

    More work in the gym outside of training camp and he could have been so great

    Roger Mayweather.

    Again hardly any gym work but was still amazing

    Of that million dollars, he'd be lucky to have 10,000 left, he's broke.

    He also went to prison for **** and wasted his prime.

    Yes he acieved a lot, but he could have done so much better with his gifts.
