A list of fighters who have wasted their talents

Andrew Golatta?

 

Exactly. He didn't make 1/10th of what they made. A shame.

 

I can sympthasize with some of it though, I mean isn't TR trying to basically enforce Garcia into a new contract? That's a scumbag move if I've seen one.

 

Dirrell beat GGG in the amateurs too, what are you on about? Even if Dirrell never beat GGG which HE DID, those are amateur fights, since when do pros get credited for their amateur wins . When did I say he avoided either? Stop going full re**** in defense mode because you're so hasty to protect your idol. I'm saying wins over Dirrell and Degale are far better than anything he's done. I was responding to this statement, "but here is the challenge: In his ballbark there is ONE elite talented fighter in Ward".

Canelo and Cotto have moved up MULTIPLE weight class. GGG has NEVER moved up one weight class. So yes, Cotto is FAR too small for GGG, he doesn't even weigh in at the full LMW weight when he fights at MW, how am I being a hypocrite? Both of these guys haev moved up to fight COMP GGG hasnt. What's your point exactly?

 

Solis
Ike

 

I used to agree with Judah, but now I just think he was alittle overrated to begin with and he did about all he could.

 

Kirkland Laing comes to mind...

 

Nice spelling :smoke

 

Corrie Sanders, one of the greatest natural talents ever seen in the HW division

he barely trained for his fights and spend more time playing golf than boxing, and he was still a beast, very dangerous early in a match but his weakness was garbage stamina for obvious reasons

still the GOAT HW southpaw

 

Hector Camacho
Michael Nunn

 

tommy morrison
klitchsko
pavlik
ggg
kovalev
calzaghe
kameda

 

Hamed

 

hagler never moved up. all his celebrated wins were agaimst smaller guys who did move up.

 

Juan Carlos Gomez-he could be an all time great by now if he hadnt prefered partyhing to sweating inside a gym.
What a waste of God-given talent!

Sergej Dzindziruk-sure,he cant be blamed as it was his promoter who wasted his precious time,but he was one of the best fighters-p4p-in his prime.Nevertheless,he was forced to fight totally unknown and unheralded journeymen on small fight card and undercards.GGG who fought for the same promoter almost suffered the same fate.

Alexander Frenkel-exciting,hard-punching cruiser whose mental problems got the upper hand

Vitaly Tsypko-due to his boring style,no one wanted to promote him,he was a mighty force and quite tough to beat,but financially unattractive

Lomachenko's olympic final opponent,Kedafi Djelkir,15-0 at the pros,but couldnt earn any decent bucks due to his ethnic background and passport.
He had the potential to be a world champ,but fighting at the pros was a waste of time for him as he could earn no decent money at all.
