Undefeated Champions / Prospects that left the sport too early

Joey Archer?

But Frankie Gomez was the first one I thought of first.

Terry Marsh as well?

 

Laszlo Papp.. arguably the greatest amateur ever who was building a successful professional career but Hungary's Communist leadership brought that to an end by denying him an exit visa. Who knows what we missed out on there.. I think he was set to face giardello.. a good fighter but I think papp would have been the favourite... consider too that papp had wins both professionally and in the amateurs over guys like elsworth webb and tiger Jones who both defeated giardello.. papp would definitely have gone on to become a middleweight champion in my opinion

 

Bizarre end to his career. Walters seemed heavily affected by a one year layoff (common) before losing to Loma. I'm guessing there's more to his story.

 

He said no mas and we never saw him again .. it was very strange but maybe he was just genuinely humiliated and emasculated by Loma.. I don't know

 

Ward, Pavlik, Naseem Hamed, Pirog, Bradley

 

I wish he fought Rigo.

 

Junlong getting frozen out so early was a huge loss to the sport. He has a KO 1 over a cruiser champ who was champ six months prior to fighting him, and went 3-0 against Zhilei Zhang as an amateur, KOing him every time. He had a brutal right hook and could leap with it in a way that defied his size.

 

Russia probably has the most of any country

Yeah Frankie Gomez. What a wasted talent.

 

Alexander Frenkel the Ukraine/German cruiserweight,he left the sport when 23/0 his last fight a KO of Macarinelli .

 

Aww not Todd498, the Toad!

 

How did nobody say Papp? Three time Olympic gold medalist, wasn't allowed to continue his pro career right before a title fight.

 

My first thought.

 

man that guy was a beast! forgot about him. He certainly would have been expected to have won a world title and been a huge force at cruiserweight. What happened to him ? weird how after his breakthrough biggest win he just stopped boxing like that.

 

Green.
