Guys who ended up ruined or derailed because they were brought along too quickly, or put in with opponents who were just all wrong for them.
Robin Blake. Too many tough fights too close together and they should have not put him in with Tyrone Crawley.
Exhibit A is Pedro Nolasco. Won an Olympic medal for the Dominican Republic in the 1984 games, beating two future pro champs and losing to a third. 1984 Olympic Games[edit] Defeated Ljubisa Simic (Yugoslavia) points Defeated John Siryakibbe (Uganda) points Defeated John John Molina (Puerto Rico) points Defeated Sung-Kil Moon (South Korea) TKO 1 Lost to Maurizio Stecca (Italy) points He turned pro in 1986 and with a 4-1 record, he was matched with the 24-0 Tony Lopez. Decima was stopped in a war. He lost the rematch as well and then was stopped by Victor Callejas.
I read an interview where Weaver claimed that he ruined a few young up and comers himself. I wonder who he meant?
Mike Tyson. Put in again and again against the largest contenders they could find. At 5-10 he was always at a disadvantage. He had what it took to beat most of them, but in his later years his promoters should have made better choices.
Meldrick Taylor fighting Terry Norris! .wtf did they think they were playing at?.Ruined him as a fighter total joke a bigger harder hitting fighter who was as fast as Meldrick.Dumb
Irish John Collins was a exciting prospect who was heading to a title fight with Hagler when he was matched with Midlands strongman Tony Sibson who had just being ko by what was arguably Hagler at his prime best. Collins was slaughter in 2 and never contended again. This content is protected
Cooney: over-protected and deprived of real learning opportunities as a result. Quarry: pushed too fast into the lion's den. Davey Moore: pushed way too fast. He was not ready at all for Duran.
