    I thought Guzman and Gamboa would achieve a lot more. Gamboa was hurt by inactivity and moving up in weight as much as anything though.

    Dominick Guinn: Monster left hook, great power, phenomenal chin, good 1 -2, why was he never champion? Oh well...

    Chad Dawson: don't really wanna say him because he showed glimpses and there were no issues physically with him and he was a consensus potential p4p guy, it was all mental. He could've done a lot more though.

    Hank Lundy: I think they put him in so many tough back to back fights he's starting to wear.

    Forgot that one.

    Decorated amateur career. Wins over Usyk, Kovalev and Shillak. This guy was destined for greatness until he wasn't.

    I thought Provodnikov was going to be the indestructible force of nature at welterweight, I was wrong, he is indestructible, but he gets outpointed and loses fights. Korobov deceived me, Helenius, Gradovich...

    Hamed. Don't get me wrong, he had a great career, but I thought at the time that he would blow through Barrera and Morales.

    George Groves, David Price, Adrien Broner, Peter Quillin, Lucian Bute...
    Probably many more who I can't think of at the moment.
