    Audley Harrison, how is that guy ever compared to the great Lennox Lewis is beyond me. He couldn't wash Lewis' cup, let alone be the second coming.

    Howard Davis Junior is another good example although not quite as big of a disappointment as Breland or Harrison and not as tragic as Reid.

    i agree, the next ray robinson failed miserably in the pro game. he was hyped beyond and given a fat contract by ABC. what a major disappointment. what happened to the huge power he had in the amateurs?

    Does Paul Gonzales, the '84 Olympic Gold Medalist at Fly, deserve mention here?
