Most talented fighter you have seen whos career ended prematurely ?

Michael Watson had achieved alot but was still improving, was only 27 i think ?Super talented boxer.
Same with the GMAN, one scary guy.He would have cleaned up.

 

Amazing shouts these two and Kirkland Laing was another - Kirk was a ridiculously gifted

 

Ike Ibeabuchi

 

Gypsy Joe Harris. Stylish philly welter from late 1960's, career halted by eye injury

 

when was this backhander done? jones jr and reggie johnson fought in 99...years after lamar was retired plus reggie inflicted the lone loss to lamar in his lone title shot..but lamar would have def been in the thick of things if it wasnt for the HIV

 

26.

 

'92.

 

would be interesting to see what Ricky Womack could have become.

 

In my era probably Vargas. Oscar put the finishing touches on someone taking too much too soon, and Vargas still fought well in that.

Ibeabuchi too because of his personal problems.

 

Dwight Davidson, and James Tillis also had plenty of potential.

 

Yep. In a class of his own in this department for me.

 

Sanchez ...

 

gerrald mclellan

 

i'm gonna add meldrick taylor. he's got the fastest hands i've ever seen and was at least even terms with the greatest mexican fighter ever

 

Salvador Sanchez and Jeff Chandler
