Fighters who should have been GREAT but fell short

Dwight could have been very decent, but like many of the the heavies of his era he was a lazy unispired *****. I had BIG hopes for Alex Ramos myself but he too fell short. Bit of a mad rooter tho.

 

Ramos also had great personal charisma, and could have been a tremendous superstar. (He was also fluent in Spanish, something which could have boosted his popularity significantly in that culture as well.) Superb hook.

 

Would you beleive me if i told you Ramos at one time was rated by the Ring as quite likely having the hardest punch with either hand in the 160 divison?? :yikes

I still remember the stories surrounding his first loss to trailhorse Teddy Sanders. Ramos was sneaking out his window at night going over the the girlfriends for some mad rooting :rofl:rofl:rofl:rofl

I'm sure that was the story, care to qualify me

 

I wasn't following the Ring at that time, so will take you at your word. I do remember his hook taking out a Cuban in the amateurs.

I don't recall that, but it wouldn't surprise me in the least. My sister and her girlfriends were all a-twitter over him.

 

Take both to the bank friend. The ring mag was the yearly or whatever where they had EVERY top 10 fighter summed up. Arguello on front i reckon.

 

Would've loved to see Howard fight a Saoul Mamby, or Billy Costello, maybe that title may have come around.

 

Hearns is great and a real legend,but those loses to leonard and Hagler kept him from becomming one of the greatest ever.

 

2 be fair to the other guys samart was already a muay thai king

 

EDIT: Nevermind, I already posted in this thread.

 

I'm on my cell I browsed thru quickly. Tony Ayala Jr - though he went bad still he would of been something special. For some reason I am now thinking of large juicy Tits.

 

Bernard Taylor-superb boxing skills, along with very fast hands, but didn't fight the top competition, and lost out in the end. If he had, would definitely have been a champ, and great.

 

Mark Breyland, Shawn O'Sullivan, Willie Dewitt, Nick Wells great amateurs fell short as pro's

 

Still feel this way, Flea?

 

Kirkland Laing,
Gerald McClellan (injury wasnt his fault)
Tony Ayala

 

He does. But yet bring up Ricardo Lopez...
