    Chris Eubank. Had the ability and power to beat allot of high profile SW in the mid 90s but choose to take on only a few challenging fights in his career like Benn, Watson, Rocchigiani and Malinga before his lost to Colllins. Fights with Nunn, Toney, Mccallum and Kalambay would have been competitive and prime Eubanks has a great chance against all of those.

    Zab, his raw ability is scary, his mental state, not so much

    jermaine taylor. he has great speed and power. big and strong. could have been one of the greatest fighter of this era. but he has got to be one of the dumbest boxers in the world. he lacks ring intelligence that will keep him from bad spots and ultimately knocked out.

    LEWIS!

    Why? He fought Tyson & Holyfield in their later years. A waste of his talent, hee needed to fight them sooner.

    zab judah is a good call, also i think wilfredo benitez could have been either better if he had trained properly

    Of all time though i would say benny lynch, could have been one of the best fighters ever but his alcholism destoryed him and he dies pennyless just 33

    Calzaghe could have achieved so much more with his talent by now also Kirkland Laing.
