    Ayala would have put all these current "prospects" to shame...the likes of Kirkland and Angulo etc.

    If only he had listened in school when they were teaching no means no.

    Judah was fast. That's about it. He was no better than a Howard Davis Jr., if even.

    Sam Langford gets my vote. He wasn't allowed to compete in big fights because of his race.

    He was in plenty man...He is pretty much consensus top5 alltime, I dont think he is a wasted talent at all.

    Ike Ibeabuchi is one of the biggest let downs in Heavyweight history. The man was 1 fight away from Lennox Lewis and managed to **** it away with domestic violence and then getting some blood disease.

    Audley Harrison, this guy was supposed to replace Lennox Lewis as the dominant Heavyweight from England. What we got instead was a no-heart underachiever who just won the Prizefighter championship. That is embarrassing.

    I want to say Fernando Vargas as well, though I have a hard time putting a world champion on that list.

    Tony Ayala was one of the most intimidating fighters to ever step into the ring. He was dealing with inner demons.

    He would talk to his opponent during a fight and say the most demeaning things he could think of.
