    I loved Francisco Bojado. I told any and everybody who would listen that he was going to take the Sport of Boxing BY STORM!!! He had all the gifts, but after that first loss...he kinda' lost his desire. Damn...SAD!!!

    I am crazy Biased towards Southpaw fighters and fighters from my Home State (Ohio)...But if they're from My Neighborhood & My Block....I am going to be Down 4-Life. Ricardo Williams of Cincinatti, Ohio was a stellar Amateur and a Silver Medalist in the 2000 Olympics....with ALL THE TOOLS. After he turned pro, had a nice win streak going, then took a couple early losses....then HE ****ED UP!!! Got caught-up in the game, got busted selling cocaine, did a 3 year bid...THE REST IS HISTORY....BAD HISTORY!!! I Saw him recently....DAMN, Doesn't even look like the same cat I grew up with. But he's still fighting. Hopefully he can salvage something...He's only 29.

    I thought Mercer was going to be a real force. Then old Larry Holmes was like ":lol:" and I was like ":oops:" then Mercer was like ":conf" and I was like ":twisted::huh".

    Good choices.

    I would add Tokumbo Olajide to the list.

    I fell for the Bojado hype aswell but not to the degree some were...and obviously not as much as he himself did.

    I thought Guzman would have been pushing for p4p recognition by now...well not now but a couple of years ago and I thought he would have been able to stay at 122-126 for a while no problems.
    Of course he actually won titles and **** but he I did expect a little more of him...He looked so damn good in his early days.

    Well, maybe it's too early, but Povetkin for me. Won a gold medal and was supposed to be someone who could challenge a Klitshko.

    Also, Urbano Antillion. Maybe he'll get his confidence back but he hasnt looked to great since he lost to Acosta(no shame there). Hopefully he'll come back strong and prove me right!

    Maybe thats what Atlas is telling him, ''Alex, just keep on winning gold medals until those Klitschko's retire/die.''

    I thought Vernon Forrest was going to go down as one of the biggest names of his era.
