    Not exactly a waste but Joe Calzaghe.

    Would have a loss or two but in the ATG sense would be much higher than regarded.

    Whoever's idea it was to put him in with McCall and Tua so early in his career is an idiot. That said, despite his fragile chin he had a decent career, but wasted his prime years as a journeyman because he kept fighting hard hitters. After he beat Rahman the first time he should have gone on to be a belt holder, he could have beaten Ruiz or Byrd.

    Chris John is a good example. He has good wins such as over JMM (controversial, but it counts) and his undefeated but still unknown outside of hardcore fans.

    I disagree, i dont think he has much other than power(overrated) and a granite chin(underrated)

    I don't think putting Vargas in with Tito at that time was a wise decision.
