    Paul Williams at WW. The punisher was a tough night's work for anyone which is why he found it so difficult to get fights at 147.

    Him winning the world title off Margarito meant he won the tag of most avoided too...

    Nah, I think the Ghost overachieved if anything. Taylor was a big let down though. He could have been so much more.

    I see what you mean more missed opportunity than a wasted career. Yes that performance against Ishihara was spectacular.

    For category 4, Odlanier Solis. An incredible amount of talent and promise, but absolutely no discipline: once he moved to Miami, the only hard work he seemed intent on subjecting himself to was the freqenting of the Miami nightlife and the stuffing his face with all manner of foods, believing his exceptional talent -- gradually eroded through a combination of neglect, indiscpline and blowing up in weight -- would be enough to see him win a World title.
