    Roy jones jr lately. Such a great fighter going on beyond what he should have. Evander Holyfield too.

    Yeah but that doesn't mean his career is disappointing, it just makes him a smart businessman/cautious boxer.

    Disappointing careers are Left Hook, El Inca, Slicky Ricky, Super, Killer, Winky, The Ghost, and Vicious.

    Money career is nowhere near disappointing, he is a surefire FIRST BALLOT HOF when he is elected...the boxers I listed above are NOT!!!!

    i would'nt class sam peter as a disappointment.
    he achieved exactly what i thought he would, **** all.
    won the title against oleg maskaev, then in his first defence, turned up out of shape, and just quit on his stool as soon as he'd had enough.
    and to think some people were comparing him to george foreman. how laughable does that sound now.

    When it comes to what they SHOULD have achieved Floyd Mayweather should be high on the list.
    I know hes greatly succesful, rich, a ATG.

    But for the potential he has if he dared to be greater and take risks he could be knocking on the door of the top 10 ATGs.
    Guess hes too busy being a "G".

    Outside of that the usual names come to mind.
    Ibeabuchi, Valero, Judah, Pavlik.
    Maybe Mijares as well?

    Kelly Pavlik- booze
    Jermain Taylor-(The heir apparent to Bernard Hopkins)
    Rocky Juarez- Always second best, from the Olympics onward.
    David Tua- probably the best Modern Heavyweight that has not won a World Title.
    Zab Judah- mental midget, he would have been better than Mayweather if he had any of the mental toughness.
    Audley Harrison- Physically Lennox Lewis, Mentally not.
    The Strickland Family- Combined Family Record of 79-468-17

    slightly off the subject,
    whats happened to matt korobov?
    seen him fight on a few golden boy cards, he looked a real good prospect but ive not heard a single thing about him in the last 2 years.
    where's he gone?

    the stricklands have comically bad records, i get the idea they took dives no way they could be that bad or fight that long losing that much

    I didn't list Sanchez because his career was cut short due to uncontrollable circumstances. The fighters that are being listed have ****ed themselves over.
