    Joan Guzman comes to mind. Not sure how hyped he got, but at one point was heading for big things, had all the skills. But looks like he did just enough to pay the bills.

    I would say Tony and Ike would have to be on the top of that list....


    I still think if Cintron would had a heart, his power could had overcome his technical limitations...

    When I mentioned Lacy, simply because the media and low level competition made him .... Currently I see some boxer that could fall in the Lacy category!

    And Zab, we all agree, it was his head that failed him...

    Judah and Bowe were the first 2 to come to mind...how about Victor Ortiz for somebody more current? Good power aggressive but folds when facing adversity in the ring (minus the Berto fight)
