    Are there any boxers which you feel have wasted there talents so far and could have accomlished much more in there career? the reason will obviously vary from promoters to mental disapline but lets hear it.

    I for one nominate Joan Guzman, all the skill in the world but he's nowhere to be seen in his prime years

    Maybe Floyd. That will change if he fights a top welterweight.

    I know people are gona disagree with you but im not. I think your right and yes floyd could have accomplished much more at this point of his career if he fought cotto after hatton (im asuming he would win) etc

    Def Guzman the guy has pound for pound talent but probably spends too much time chasing those fine dominican mamacitas(if thats the case i dont blame him).

    i don't understand what you mean about guzman. i mean i he wins his next fight he will be a 3 time and 3 weight champion. also he's undefeated and not visibly on the decline physically.

    true that. I'm just saying he could have accomplished more at this stage. too many cancelled fights. I bet he could have gotten in there with marquez or someone and become a house hold name by now.

    Zab judah needs to be mentioned too lol

    He said he is gonna fight maybe one or 2 more years and that is it. He has disappointed me greatly, since I expected to see him fight a lot more than he does. Not making weight for the Campbell fight, blew his chance at many good fights.
