    Just want to know your opinions on who for you could have been a really great fighter because of his skill and talent but careers went down because of attitude problems, lack of discipline, lack of heart, or didnt really pick the best opponets.

    I don't know if he has the most wasted talent, but damn does it seem like Kermit Cintron has a lot of ability, plus he can flat out hit. Mentally, though, he seems to be a mess.

    Riddick Bowe and Zab Judah. Both had upper echelon ATG skills but were lacking the mental makeup to max out on that potential.

    I seen him fight a couple times in Pittsburgh, very fast, but very overrated, and really lacked power, Gatti would of beat him down pretty bad in the early 2000s, Spadafora should of lost against Dorin, Gatti knocked him out with a vicious body shot that same year I believe.
