Most wasted talents ever

Mine isnt so much a wasted talent to say but a man that could have ruled the heavyweight division if he had have taken himself seriously after losing to Ali in Zaire.

George Foreman.
I mean if he had of stayed motivated and fought on he would have had an outstanding record and probably be one of the top 3 all time heavyweights.

Instead of retiring and fighting on after 1977 and retiring at the age of 28 he could have had fights against Larry Holmes,Mike Tyson,Earnie Shavers,Ken Norton etc and probably i think he would have had one of the titles. He may have even beat Ali in a rematch.

To me Foreman is still a great in my books but to imagine what his records could have looked like its a shame he did retire then. he could have fought way up until 1986 he would have been only 36.

 

That boy might just have had the best power combined with the best chin of any heavyweight champion.

Based on his personality he should never have got to a world level but his raw talent was such that he just breezed through it.

Max Schmeling (best heavy in the world right now). "I actualy have to take that one seriously".

Primo Carnera (world heavyweight champion who has beaten most of the best out there) "I will just clown around and still knock him down 11 times".
