    It can be an amateur or a young pro who piqued your interest. What'd you see in him that spelled super stardom, and what brought the express to a halt and how bummed were you?

    Francisco Bojado would be the logical pick. I'd also mention Ricky Williams, and Camacho Junior

    Bojado had mine briefly, but I discovered him after he already was a bust so it didn't last long.

    Fernando Vargas, he could have gotten the mainstream and the hardcore mexican community in the US that never supported Oscar on his side, but his defeat to Trinidad derailed those aspirations.

    No way man. Vargas was a mega star and the loss to Trinidad made people lovehim more for the ballsy performance. **** he may be the only guy that I can think of that got an even purse with Oscar.

    Zab Judah could be argued to never quite live up to his athletic abilities.

    I'm not saying a Welterweight title is meaningless by any means, but he had the skill to be a long reigning champ but just didn't come through.

    Audley Harrison is another one from the good olypmics, terrible pro career bracket.
