    I really thought at the time that Oba Carr was going to be something real special

    Kelly Pavlik despite being the undisputed MW champ for a while, could have done so much more.

    Its hard to believe that the guy is still only 32.

    Zab Judah
    David Haye
    Kelly Pavlik
    David Price (still has time to get his career in shape but i doubt it)
    Andre Berto
    Andre Dirrel

    Probably loads of others but those are the ones who have genuine ability but for one reason or another just didn't fight the right way, didn't dedicate themselves or had a major flaw in their boxing.

    Patiently waiting for someone to expose Deontay Wilder's weak ass chin. Sick of hearing about him.

    This is an easy one for me....

    Jorge Linares, no one even compares in my book. Biggest waste of natural talent I've seen in years.
