    Juan Manuel Marquez -- seriously this guy was one hell of a fighter even before he faced Pacquiao but he only become well known to the public after his life and death battle with Pacquiao.

    Anyone in Don King's stable. Devon Alexander, get out while you still can. That's going to be his downfall, mark my words.

    Winky Wright. This guy could be an all time great, and could still be beating champions to this day and hes not fighting. He wasted his prime.

    David Tua.

    Sergio Martinez until recently.

    Rey Bautista was thrown to the wolves too early.

    Chavez Jr. wasn't thrown to the wolves early enough.

    Augustus' beef is more with hater judges than with management. He got plenty of opportunities.

    Agreed... Both guys were on top of the world when they became champions... Then fkd it all up.

    I'm not saying they should have cherry-picked opponents,,, but:

    Taylor vs Winky, Spinks and Ouma back to back... Thanks Lou. :good

    Pavlik vs Hopkins, two nobodies... then Martinez... Not a good plan. :bart

    He got his shot at redemption, and lost on national TV in the contender finale - by knockout - to someone who isn't really a knockout puncher.

    He was never going to be a division kingpin with that chin.
