    after looking throuhg the lists I'd add-
    hamed
    ike
    rocky juarez
    maybe not exactly what youd call a disappointment as he did well for himself, but juan diaz would be on my list in terms of where I thought he'd be now and where he is

    Also, I'd think anyone who bought any of the garbage out of haye's mouth must be disappointed.

    Not really Disappointing careers because you can call them greats but

    Ali & Tyson

    Tyson without all his problems outside of boxing & bad management could have achieved much more

    Ali without license bieng revoked could also achieved more

    There are quite a few, but the one that sticks out the most for me is Joan Guzman, given that he didn't die, get arrested, or brutally KO'ed or beatdown, he was and is just plain lazy.

    Could've been so good. :-(

    I don't think I can come up with ten but the ones that spring to mind are Kelly Pavlik, Emmanuel Augustus, Jeff Lacy, and Jermain Taylor.

    His fatal accident was the dissapointment and not being able to watch his grow to his full potential, not his career!!!

    I'm going to say Andre direel, has the talent and would king. Of the division if not for ward.

    Also chad Dawson he could have done much more than he has.
