Waste of talent.

Ward was first name to jump to mind but Floyd was a great shout

 

Kessler could have achieved a lot more too

And Winky Wright

But in both cases it wasnt their fault

 

Some of the people you guys are claiming did accomplish a lot. Not as much as they could have but still.

Lamar Parks was a gigantic waste of talent.

His biggest problem was his ego. If he had continued to listen and train hard he could have achieved much more than he did.

 

Valero is a stand out choice.

Zimornsky, you might be the exemplary poster-child of a h0mo in the closet. Why do you always gotta post h0mo $hit??

 

Parks is a good one..

Michael Nunn is the first that comes to most people's minds.. He had so much talent, more than ANYONE including Ali, Whitaker, Robinson, Mayweather Jr, Jones Jr, in fact.. He was so smooth, so flowing, so balanced, so fit, so fast, so everything.. A tall southpaw, the king of the long left uppercut, & could've gone 70 fights unbeaten in three or four weight divisions if he didn't snort his career up his nose..

 

I don´t agree. Winky did well and Kessler, actually was only second choise of Mogens Palle. But substituting for Mads L****n, Kessler emerged with X-factor and did pretty well. Inactivity due to legal matters versus Mogens Palle actually did not hurt him. Fighting once a year was enough to keep him in the SMW top. Never in a boring fight, always fit and motivated - that´s only happening when you´ve had long layoffs. I think Mads L****n had all the tools but unlike Kessler he did not have the guts to go all the way.

 

How can you say Kessler fighting once a year in his prime wasnt a waste?

 

There are a bunch from the past, but one that stands out from recent history is Pirog

Had a unique blend of technique, power, and speed and was a switch hitter, imagine him vs GGG

 

My dad would be nodding his head :yep

 

Ibeabuchi did something not many manage. 'Retire' undefeated.
