With the right management of their career&life they could've been titleholders in their division. :good
Axel Shulz.... wins the title 3 times, losing to home cooking twice, and a roided to the gills fighter narrowly a 3rd time. Also fought even and barely nudged by Akinwande.:shock:
Audly Harrison was an all time great amateur Gold Medal Champion that couldnt adapt to the pro style of boxing. A huge underachiever. Much like the Cuban Jorge Luis Gonzalez indeed. They had so many amatuer fights that they couldnt break that style of fighting it became second nature and unbreakable habits.
