    I mean, when fighters with potential to be a very good or even great fighter, failed because of serious injuries or for the boxing scene so famous/ typical drug-problems, etc.

    Tony Ayala and Ike Ibeabuchi were prospects/contenders who never reached the top.

    Hector Camacho Sr. was an incredibly gifted boxer, a 2 time world champion, who could've been one of the ATGs, but wasted his potential.

    Tyson was a shooting star.
    We're talking WASTED talent, Tyson unified and rocked the whole world, I wouldn't call that waste.
