Tony Tucker, and to a lesser extent, Mitch Green.

 

Good picks.....:good

Also,

"Tyrell Biggs, Discourage Tshabalala, Anders Eklund, Alex Garcia, Jim Tillis, Henry Tillman, Gary Mason & Seamus McDanough."atsch

Gerry Cooney made bucks, but also flopped to a large degree...:deal

MR.BILL:hat

OH! Carl "The Lie" Williams:rofl

 

Il Duce,

Wasn't McDonald one of the Tomorrow's Champions?

 

Andy "****ing" Golota.atsch

All I remember watching holmes beat up on him - a very good holmes performance by the way- even though he lost you could tell fred had a nice style and looked like a good fighter. sometimes even good fighters just get horible luck as well as lacking perhaps one small element that horibly exposes itself if matchmaking and bad timing colide. some losses are just career suicide for a fighter, backers pull the plug and the guy gets thrown to the lions.

 

You need to distinguish between underachievers and flops ... flops don't win any form of heavyweight championship excluding possibly Leon Spinks ..

Mismanaged fighters ( Leon) like Pete R. who are rushed can be viewed as flops as they achieve very little ...

Michael Grant was a huge flop ...

Bill Squires was a huge flop

Jack Munroe was a flop

I would say Max Baer was a near flop.

LeRoy Jones was a flop.

Willie DeWit was a flop.

Jorge Luis Gonzales was a flop.

Mitch Green was a flop.

Jimmy Clark was a flop.

Cooney was a huge flop.

Briggs was a flop.

Golata was a disgrace.

 

How about Jo-el Scott and Leo Nolan? They seem to have wasted time due to jail and inactivity.

 

sorry if they've been mentioned but what are people's thoughts on tommy gomez or elmer ray?

 

Big John Tate

 

My Canadian friend assures me it's Willie de Wit. To be fair he loves his country so much he literally shits Canada, so I'd take his opinion with a pinch of salt..........
