    Victor Ortiz (unless he's fighting Andre Berto).

    Joseph Parker and Daniel Dubois have both lacked "dog" in certain fights.

    Donald Curry. Very skilled but also seemed to lack grit.

    Joshua Clottey always seemed a very talented and well-schooled fighter who lacked the necessary drive and desire to dig deep and take chances. I think with his gifts and well-roundedness, he could have gone much further than he did.

    Joshua is probebly the one of the ones I've followed. Had really all the tools, but not quite make-up when push came to shove.
