Most wasted talents ever

Are you banging her?

 

A past prime Tony Tubbs gave all Bowe could handle, and some even thought Tubbs beat him. A peak Tubbs gave Tyson less trouble and Tyson brutally ko'd him in under two rounds, so there you go.:good

 

Thart's different. Ruddock was shot against Morrison, while he was peak against Tyson, so of course he would be easier for Morrison to beat. However, Tubbs was past it against Bowe, but Tubbs was peak against Tyson, so he should have been easier for Bowe to beat, but instead he was easier for Tyson to beat!:good

 

I wish lol. I met her like 2wice, my homeboy kno her though

 

Does she have a name, same girl differnt pic.

 

Roy Jones Jr was the biggest waste of talent in the modern era. He seemed that good that come 2007 we would be debating weather he was as good as Robinson. Instead he blew it to the point where he might not even be great.

Salvador Sanchez...

James Toney could of been really special but a lack of respect to training and steroid abuses cost him.

Mark Breland and Kelcie Banks probably spent to long as amateurs, ditto Tarver.

James Douglas showed once what may of been had he been properly dedicated

Riddick Bowe blew it with the world at his feet

 

What's her name?

 

RUDDOCK WAS SHOT, PERIOD! Tyson ruined him. After Tyson fought him he was never the same again. Why do you think After giving Tyson good fights he was blasted by Lewis in two? He was not the same fighter against lewis and Morrison. He was wasted. The beatings Tyson gave him damaged him.:good

 

Whitaker's problems with substance abuse only officially arose before his fight with Trinidad. Prior to the Trinidad fight, he was inactive for just under two years. In my personal opinion, the De La Hoya defeat and failure to secure a rematch, spiralled him into depression. He was years past his prime before he shared a ring with De La Hoya, around 5-6 years.

Not too sure Galento would have beaten Louis, even if he was in top shape.

Duran was very indisciplined, especially between fights. He would go away for days partying with friends, then would phone his manager, Carlos Eleta and say "Where are Brown and Arcel, I need them". During these moments Duran knew he had bad habits, but also he couldn't help himself. He liked to live the goodlife.

When Eleta secured the third fight with De Jesus, he falsely told Duran a non-title fight was signed as a tune-up. Weeks later Eleta told Duran the opponent injured himself and the fight was cancelled. He wanted to Duran to be in the best condition possible, because of the weight making difficulties Duran had began to face deep into his lightweight reign. Duran trained much longer than usual for third De Jesus fight in the proccess.

Not too sure Duran would have ever beaten Hearns, no matter what kind of physical condition he got himself into. No question he was lethargic and weak as he had to come down from 180lbs three weeks before the fight. But Duran had never fought an opponent who could bang like Hearns' prior to squaring off against him. Hearns' height and reach, combined with his tremendous jab and right hand power, too much. Hearns had a 6" height, and an 11" reach advantage over Duran.

 

Awful lot of hindsight in that...

Ruddock was a comfortable favourite to beat Lewis. The few who did pick Lewis figured he could avoid the smash for 12 rounds and win a decision.

Ruddock was a legitmate contender before Dokes indeed a Tyson/Ruddock fight had been pencilled in for November 89, after his gutsy win over Bomecrusher.

Dokes was still considered a legitmate contender only one year removed from the Holyfield war.

Hindsight can make fools of us all, but Ruddock was thought by many THE MAN who would still be standing after Lewis/Ruddock; Holyfield/Bowe and the subsequent match that was meant to happen between the winners.

 

Do you want me to start a poll just to satisfy you?
