Biggest Wasters in boxing?

Discussion in 'World Boxing Forum' started by Phill-Mitchell, Oct 20, 2012.

  1. 1. Odlanier Solis

    This guy has all the talent in the world, if you listen to his fans.

    Unfortunately he's not very good at demonstrating it.

    2. Nathan Cleverly

    I don't even need to explain

    3. Andre Dirrell

    1 round in two years

    Very harsh on Nathan. His career is flying compared to the other two. Big things still to come from Cleverly.

    Gamboa, terrible shame.
     
  5. "if he lost the weight"

    That's the other one I love, as though even though he was a fat ****er in his 20's he's suddenly going to become he man in his 30's with a bung knee

    I don't know, it's a bit harsh to call these guys "wasted talent" when they put their life on the line for a living. It's not a waste to stay away from something that's dangerous. We really don't know what truly goes on in their life. Sometimes people fall out of love with their career and end up finding interest in something else. Is that necessarily bad?

    It's just disappointing, as a fan who loves great action in the ring, to see someone like Gamboa inactive for a long time. That's all I'll say.

    both kessler and joan guzman could have done a hell of allot more in the game, victor ortiz deserves a big shout.

    If only Solis had Haye's mind.

    he'd be schooling the Klits longer then 2 minutes.

    :lol:

    Too bad he's a fat cuban pig with a glass jaw. Also his skills are far bellow that of the Klitschkos, so even if he didn't eat like a pig and had a chin he would get destroyed.

    Since about 2006 Mikkel Kessler has either fought, or was willing to fight, every supermiddleweight who mattered, and he won three world titles along the way. He has two losses; one to Calzaghe, and one to Ward.

    At one point boxing damn near cost him his eyesight, but he refused to retire, and a half blind Kessler wrested his third world title away from Carl Froch. At present, he is well on his way to a shot at a fourth World title. If he beats Magee, one of the top three will have to fight him. Why the **** would you mention the most accomplished supermiddleweight in the world on this thread?
