    You want to call him a superstar fine . . . but he should have reach higher height in the sports . . . he should have have a bigger name if he had made it past the big fights that he lost.

    Like Vargas, Tito is the reason he fizzled.

    Michael Grant and Dominich Guinn. Mark Breland too, more so than previous two I mentioned. He was tremendous flop after 5 NYC gloves title and OLympics.

    Dominic Guinn for me, he's such a nice guy too, I really wanted to see good things happen for him.

    Golota - Looked unstoppable in his early fights and schooled Bowe from pillar to post, also exposing Grant. The first legit white hope in a very long time. But we know the rest.......

    He's always my #1 pick for these kinds of threads. That kid had very learned and experienced boxing analysts thinking he was going to be a future star of the sport after only a handful of fights... and then he ran into Juan Carlos Rubio of course and it all went down hill from there. What a waste of such great talent. :-(
