    Chad Dawson.

    He went from the guy Mayweather called the pound-for-pound #1 to a guy who was beaten by Froch's leftovers.

    True. That was VERY disappointing showing by Dawson.

    Definitely Bad Intentions! Been a fan since the beginning, but he never developed the ring IQ he badly needed to become a legend. No one should question his heart tho. His skills and athleticism were great, but he really did lose fights he never should of lost too. I guess it's the little things he wasn't paying attention too.

    I'd say he'd be most disappointing of the last 10 years.

    I believe he slipped in order to get away from the heat, and I believe he did the same thing against Froch.

    This is not to say I believe AA's foul can justified, or that it was wrong to DQ him or that I believe Direll faked the damage after the illegal blow.

    And what the **** has that got to do with disappointing? Jermaine Taylor was hyped as the heir apparent to all the great middleweights of the past. YOu dont think from that expectation his career hasnt been disappointing. :patsch

    I think there's a difference between falling short of expectations and flat out disappointing.

    The first time I saw JT, I said, "Damn, this kid will top the elite up to the light heavies like RJJ". And I was wrong.

    Taylor shouldn't even be in this discussion, he is several levels above the likes of Lacy and Alexander.

    Probably Alexander had better ability than Lacy, but at least Lacy held a world title and defended it. Lacy was a mediocre fighter, but he achieved more than Alexander has/will.

    He won a legit belt. Unlike Lacy or Alexander. So he shouldn't be in the discussion. I don't remember anyone touting Taylor as a future ATG. He was a solid contender who beat a big name to win one of the most important titles in boxing. He made it. So stfu.
