    Ricky Hatton.

    Had talent then by the time he fought Floyd he was already overweight and on the slide.

    Then vs Pacquaio , well .

    How was it disappointing though?

    He's had a better career than 99% of the boxers out there.

    Just fell a little short of elite P4P level, but almost everyone does. :deal

    Nothing he could have done would have prepared him for Mayweather OR Pacquiao.

    That's a fact. He's just not that talented.

    Prime Hatton would wipe Khan out, they'd have to sweep for Khans shattered mandible for days.

    Could really use Pirog right now. Not his fault, but a massive disappointment nonetheless.

    Lamar Parks, extremely dissapointing. HIV really took him out of the game. All kinds of potential. :patsch

    I'm biased because Chad is still my current favorite, but all the talent in the world physically, and the mind of a moron. :-(

    Pirog is the definition of slick/white. I personally think he would currently be at the top of MW right now.

    Ward, he thinks he is a draw but is totally deluded. Shame because he is a real talent,i don't know who advises him?

    Think he got the most out of his ability at his peak, never a disappointment to any of his fans. Just a very very good fighter who lost to all time greats.
