    Luke Campbell was supposed to be a PPV star.

    He got handed a title shot on a silver platter and he dropped it.
    And then life kicked him to the curb.
    I know he had to learn how to walk and talk again but that was 2015. Hard to find any news on him.

    Naz had a good career but he should have been regarded as a worldwide great. He had insane talent.

    From Reddit


    What's the latest on Denis Boytsov?

    submitted 3 months ago

    Most recent articles I can find are from 2015, discussing him moving to a different rehab facility. Sad beeping story. One of the biggest wastes of talent in the division in recent decades.

    He is slowly getting better as far as I know and police waits for him to be able to speak so he can give his version of what happened

    You guys are seriously reaching.
    Solis? Berto? Someone said Ali and Frazier.
    WTF lol
    All of had long successful careers.

    When I think of failed prospects I think of one name. Victor mfing Ortiz. He was a crusher of men. Had everything going for him till the put Marcos Maidana in with him for his first title fight. Huge mistake. He probably has THE WORSE mental breakdown I have ever seen in the world of sports period. "I dont feel like I should be hit that way." Yes I remember it by heart.
    He has made good money and still can contiune to make good money, but dude still hasn't live that one moment down.....except for the Floyd fight. Lol. I love boxing.

    I remember there being a lot of hype for Fernando Vargas before the Tito fight and he never really came back from that defeat to Trinidad.

    Golota, I am a firm believer he was one of the most talented heavyweights ever, with a weak psychological state of mind, he put a beating on Riddick Bowe 2 times in a row, only losing to DQ because of his idiotic head, if he fixed his mental toughness I believe he would be in top 10 heavyweights of all time.

    Charles Martin? I walk this Earth like a God.Hang on,what is the difference between him and Wilder.Both fought bums before Joshua,both had Titles handed to them,One just has a more lethal right hand.

    Naz and Hatton weren't prospects they were world champs. They both had good careers. Harrison was a prospect who did nothing as a pro a big disappointment.

    I thought about using Naz, but he was unified champion with many defences so I can't see how he did not make it.

    Naz is even in the hall of fame now.
