Primo Carnera is the obvious choice to me if you want to be a historian about it. Outside of exclusively boxing, Bruce Lee is a great choice for biggest hype job
Pete Rademacher. Olympic Champ, got a HW title fight vs Floyd Patterson in his FIRST FIGHT. Got KO'd....not surprising.
Tyson for me too But agree with the guy saying he showed a hell of a chin vs Lewis. Lewis annihilated him but Tyson kept on his feet showed tremendous toughness and heart. Felt sorry for him when he finally crumpled forward in a defeated heap, exhausted and battered like a bull sucumbing to the final spear
his chin wasn't iron but the man could take a butt kicking and keep fighting .. he wasn't suspect but he wasn't iron .. it was a solid sturdy chin
Without a doubt its Floyd Joy Sinclair Mayweather jr. He was born with incredible natural God Given talent . Enough talent for him to be a legitimate ATG today But he was also cursed with being given no fighting heart or no Champions cojones. For the last 10 plus years he's been protected by Vegas boxing, its officials especially,the NSAC & USADA giving him carte blanche to make up his own rules etc. Now after the IV Drip fiasco it looks like he's been cheating for the last 10 years at least too. There is too big a dark cloud of suspicion hanging over his head today caused completely by his own hand. for him to be anything more than WASTED TALENT!!!!

Michael Olajide. Was touted as the future of the middleweight division until Frank Tate exposed him. A few fights later he was stopped by Iran Barkley.
