    Clifford Ettienne, was a hot up and coming fighter, until he ran into Fres Oquendo who knocked him down 8 times if I remember, I haven't watched the fight in awhile.

    Benitez. Has he been mentioned? Looked fantastic against Duran and very good if outgunned against Hearns. But he didn't look at all right against Hamsho and Moore.

    Erik Morales. Had his defining moment in 2005 and before 2007 he was shot.

    John Collins was 29 - 0 27 ko . He was hot fav to beat Tony Sibson who
    was coming off a title ko loss to Hagler. Sibson destroyed him in 2 rd.
    Earl Hargrove was 24 - 0 24 ko when he fought Mark Medal for the newly
    created IBF 154 Title. Earl punched himself out and was ko in 7 rd.
    Jamie Garza was 40 - 0 38 ko when he defended title against Jamie Menza.
    Garza traded wildly with Menza and was ko by a single left hook in 1st rd.
    Mac Foster was 24 - 0 24 ko and when they gave him his first real against test Jerry Quarry.
    He was ko in 6 rds.

    not Cuevas. 10 title defenses. His problem was he ran into Thomas Hearns.

    I agree im quoting someone else who said his career was shot early. Something I dont agree with hence the question marks
