    Harrison, Khan (with a chin and good trainer could have been way better), Victor Ortiz, David Price, Adrien Broner,

    Pirog, he didn't "fail" his back forced him out of the game.
    I was very high on Pirog.

    Audley has to be it, or David Price
    Can't say Amir, he actually accomplished a fairly good
    amount and had an overall successful career.

    Howard Davis was supposed to be the next superstar was rated above Sugar Ray even, lost to Jim Watt, Edwin Rosario and Buddy McGirt in world title fights.

    Bruno was a genuine world class fighter in a tough era he also would of beat the life out of Audley.

    Dustin Nichols.

    Man the beating he gave to Wilder that first round, knock down via a jab, then had him doing the chicken dance with a body shot later all the while taking Wilder best shots like it was candy...

    I suppose when you get ripped off like that by corrupt officials it becomes hard to keep that form going..

    Shame because he could have been a atg...
