    I'm not sure he qualifies for this thread...
    But a favorite of mine during the 90's was Oba Carr.
    (Granted he became a Champ, But I always expected more)

    He always seemed to come up short in his high profile fights.

    donald curry was an amazing fighter but seemed to grow old overnight. breland was supposed to be the next ray robinson but failed big time. two good picks

    Joan Guzman. I know he has won a few titles but I really thought if he applied himself to the sport he would be up there with the top P4P guys.

    Pavlik. 32:0 with 29 KO's, beat the man who beat Hopkins...really thought he would become a middleweight great.

    I see where ya' going with this....But a "Major Bust?" That's kinda' harsh.

    Yeah, I can see this. Losing to fighters like Mayorga and Mora...DAMN!!! Especially after the way he handled Mosley.

    Jacobs still has time to be something though.

    Michael Nunn was NOT a Major Bust!!!


    Damn good call on this one. But there have been so many fighters from Colombia that come to the US with these Inflated-Ass records, and as soon as they step-up in class....they get BLASTED!!!!

    I though David Reid was gonna to be a bigger force than he was. I think his eye had something to do with his limitations.
