    Ill just open it up feel free too throw whoevers name in there. Basically any boxer that was either immensely hyped, had a bright future, was a prospect in their early days before it all went wrong..

    People along the lines of Audley Harrison etc..

    Brilliant shout tbf, i mean if there was a world championship belt for 4 round fights, the big man would have a great shot, never seen anyone gas as badly as he does, he just stands still and cant lift his arms its so fun too watch

    Broner was supposed to earn more than he did. He had the person to easily overcome a loss or two. But his choice of opposition and in ring performances hindered his monetary gains.

    Loads and loads of talent, but also loads of weight, mentality and legal issues.

    Audley Harrison, Kevin Mitchell and John Murray all had plenty of hype in the UK. None of the three won a title whilst the likes of Crolla, Cook, Arthur and Burns did. Let that sink in British boxing fans.

    Kevin Mitchell had the greatest fightposter ever though. The Katsidis one is total gold!

    With Hatton’s size, skill set, and abilities, you could make a strong case that he’s an overachiever

    Mitchell was clearly good enough to win a world title and somehow contrived not to despite several great opportunities being handed to him. If you can outbox a master boxer like Linares for the majority of a fight you should be able to dance circles around the likes of Katsidis and I was a fan of Michael and his all action style!

    Hatton was a very good fighter with a good career! He did well vs Mayweather with the jab and quick feet used in a forwards shuffle before Floyd adjustments, Ricky landed far more punches than Naz did vs Barrera and had a good chance of beating someone of Barrera`s level had there been a light welter version, you shouldn`t mention fraudley in the same breath as these two though.
