    Anyone remember Akeem Anifowoshe aka Kid Akeem? He was a talented prospect but he's mostly known for his great fight with Robert Quiroga but sadly his life was cut short following that fight.

    The bar is set incredibly low with a lot of the names mentioned in this thread.

    A lot of these fighters could only get to a very bad level.

    Surely you should only mention fighters that managed to at the very least win a world title.
