Guys who were pushed too fast, and fizzled out?

forgot kermit cintron, dude had not even been boxing long and they put him in with an assassin such as margarito, dude was never the same. Cintron could have been huge if he had been managed well.

 

Now look at the very first post made... Just saw it

 

Glad you took it in the right spirit.:good

 

Meldrick Taylor and Leon Spinks.

 

i disagree. i actually like the way their careers were managed. their respective flaws make it impossible for them to be successful. ortiz has no heart and khan has no chin. the fact that they have a combined iq of 54 makes matter worse for these two. it's dumb and dumber, the boxing version.

 

Cintron was the IBF champ and had been working with Steward and seemed to have matured and made adjustments

the rematch made a lot of sense and top fighters avenge losses, the matchmaking wasnt a mistake, Cintron just failed to deliver

 

They did not fight anything special for their first losses.

By the time Khan got knocked out by Prescott, he had already suffered 3 knock downs against journeymen Rachid Drizlane, Willie Limond, and Michael Gomez. He was not pushed fast at all, he's just so chinny that it may appear as if he was pushed too fast. Figthing Prescott when he did, another prospect, was pretty appropriate. It's not like he faced this highly experienced veteran with good wins under his belt.

Ortiz was knocking every body either down or out. After he made easy work of Arnautis every one was asking for him to step up and fight a name. No one really gave Maidana a chance, every one just saw him as an Argentinian puncher with a blown up record, bunch of KO's over journeymen.

Ortiz didn't really fight an experienced, dangerous puncher until he fought Andre Berto.

 

Cintron Was 25 When He Fought A Prime Margo. Cintron Had Only Been Boxing For 5 Years And Still Had Lots To Learn. He Was A Wrestler, And Did Not StaRt Boxing Until Age 19.Just Think If He Had Not FaceD Margo And Developed Proplerly With Patience

 

What a waste. He was very skilled.

 

I think Cintron lacked hear more than anything. He really didn't get a beating either time. He had crap defense and didn't like getting hit, like Ortiz.

 

:deal
