    Nor the skillset to compete at the elite level. Big, slow, bad footwork,
    punch technique not great. Even without the chin deficiency, he had
    a visible ceiling.

    I think Hank Lundy could've done a lot more, especially if he competed
    and stuck to only the LW division. He got put in with a lot of tough
    guys he wasn't necessarily ready for.
    Allen Green as well,

    Audley A Force Harrison.

    even if he didn't have the skill set to be world class or elite. he is such a nice guy he deserved more.

    Williams even before the accident he wasn't the same fighter after that hellacious ko he suffered against Maravilla. Lara and Canelo both lucky they faced or were going to face a past his prime PWilly. Still had enough to beat acouple world class fighters.

    Sal Sanchez already is an atg no doubt about that. But I think his best was yet to come against Arguello and possibly Chavez.

    The clue is in the name of the poster.

    Johnny Tapia is a good one. He had a stellar career, but how much more could he have added to his legacy without the drugs and prison?

    Chavez was psychologically traumatized by guilt over ruining Taylor's career? I was unaware of that. Is that your personal opinion or has this been publicized?

    Corrie Sanders. Could've achieved way more.

    I think people will remember Beterbiev with "if only he had started his career earlier".

    Zelko Marovic was an under appreciated tactician

    He was miles better than Ibrogabum and would have knocked him spark out too.
