    Actually he's a success after leaving Cuba getting medical attention for his daughter and he's actually been ducked by the top fighters

    Weird as hell to start this thread about Ortiz, who is a millionaire and has two memorable title challenges to his name, right after making a thread about Jarrell Miller, who has damn near blackballed himself from the sport.

    Majidov could have been heavyweight champ, likely left it too late to go pro.(his amateur accomplishments still count for a lot)

    And Ortiz didn't squander every bit of his talent.

    Miller is actually the most talented 300 pound+ boxer ever. He probably would've walked over a guy like Whyte.

    Well, chemically enhanced Miller would, but who knows about clean Miller.

    Unfortunately I don't know enough about boxing to know if he was the biggest waste of talent in his generation.. Maybe someone from the classic forum could tell me if there were any operators more skilled than him... Back in the 1700s
