Hamed, Linares, Chad Dawson, Joan Guzman, Judah, Witter, Vanzie, Paul Williams. Williams and Dawson may bounce back. Hamed, Guzman and Judah all could have done so much more. I thought Linares could be something special after he beat Larios but he hasnt gone onto do anything yet. Witter and Vanzie could have done quite a bit more with better breaks but both flawed.

Some fighters you may look at their potential and gloss over their weaknesses

I also thought Taylor would improve and rule MW for a while after he beat Hopkins. Quartey and Forrest I always thought would do more with their careers

I did pick Pacquaio to be top3 P4P after his Morales loss and picked Khan to be top10 P4P after his Prescott loss

You must be the most difficult-to-please boxing fan I've ever seen in my life. Every single person on your list was a legit champion. These are the people you were disappointed by? Surely this wasn't the intent of the thread.
I'm thinking of guys like the previously mentioned Greg Page. Or maybe a guy like Angel Vazquez or David Reid.

What are people looking for nowadays?

Carl Frampton has a look of something special. Hopefully I wont have to mention him in this thread ever again.
