    Yeah your absolutely right...Judah's Natural Talent is far Superior then half the fighters out there.

    He is currently in negotiations with Juan Urango...Rumor has it, that could be one of the possible under-card fights March 13th, along with Anthony Peterson vs Marcos Maidana.

    Maybe Andrew Golota. Schooled Bowe until he started hitting balls then after those fights he pretty much lost his biggest fights(Lewis, Tyson, and also Adamek even though he was shot against Adamek).

    James Toney . . . couldn't even train properly for his defining fight against RJJ.

    Corrie Sanders is a good one - 6'4 southpaw, great handspeed, one of the hardest punchers in the era, decent chin. The fact that he's little more than a punchline with the whole "he was a golfer" stuff is kinda shitty.

    Golota - if he wasn't a headcase, damn.

    If injuries count then Mcclellan


    Sergei Kobozev (murder), and Sergei Artemiev (injured) are 2 guys who i would of liked to see how the rest of their careers played out.

    Sanders
    Golata
    Naz

    All good thoughts. Sanders less so, but the other 2 definitely.

    Jerry Quarry and Ron Lyle may have been elite in another era (remember, had Lyle won 1 more round vs Ali, he could have had a win - he was a big, strong guy that could box when he put his mind to it)

    Dominick Guinn had good combos, a great chin and no motivation whatsoever unless he was pressured by a bigger guy. If he just could have lived up to his promise, he would have been an elite heavy in this era. Ray Mercer comes to mind as someone who could have been an ATG with a little more motivation.
