    Well, I've seen lots of fighters I thought would be superstars, like ...

    SR Leonard
    Duran
    Hearns
    Tyson

    Etc., etc.

    Of the ones who didn't make it to that level who haven't been mentioned (pardon if I missed it), Eddie Gregory/Mustafa Muhammad comes to mind.

    Probably the best light heavyweight talent of his generation. Definitely the laziest.

    Dwight Qawi for me, his fights with Holyfield is highly under rated. If Valero didn't kill himself he would've been huge.

    I thought back then Shannon Briggs would've been a mega star, but then his problems showed up and he started to crack.

    This guy right here. Well, Briggs did have the look of a superstar!

    How about Angel Manfredy!?!? I didn't like the guy's personality but after he beat Gatti I thought he'd get to the top.

    Buster Douglas


    Laugh if you like, but after beating Tyson, I was sure that Douglas was all set for a long and glorious reign

    Then, Holyfield happened :patsch
