    Off the top of my head :

    Joel Julio
    Audley Harrison
    Edison Miranda
    Joan Guzman
    Jeff Lacy
    Zab Judah could be argued.

    He was getting so much hype and he looked pretty sensational, tbh. Coming out of the olympics. Had serious talent.

    He had absolutely no discipline though. He was a party animal, gangbanger and a right piece of work.

    I think he might be in the pen now.

    What a waste! :-(

    I think Miranda did well for his talent level. His hype was more about his back story and power. No one really expected him to dominate massively or be a HUGE star.

    You're right on the rest though. And definitely Zab. People were calling him Pete Whitaker with Power.

    They were also calling Joel Julio the new Tito Trinidad, lol.

    Have you seen Breland lately? He's doing great. Kind of flopping may have been a blessing.

    I was really liking Guzman at one point, he looked awesome early on but then his lack of discipline and inability to make weight ruined him. A complete waste of talent if ever I saw one.
