    You want to call him a superstar fine . . . but he should have reach higher height in the sports . . . he should have have a bigger name if he had made it past the big fights that he lost.

    Like Vargas, Tito is the reason he fizzled.

    joel julio maybe to some degree, at least i thought he would go on to be pretty big, bojado i think fits the description best.

    Michael Grant and Dominich Guinn. Mark Breland too, more so than previous two I mentioned. He was tremendous flop after 5 NYC gloves title and OLympics.

    Dominic Guinn for me, he's such a nice guy too, I really wanted to see good things happen for him.

    Golota - Looked unstoppable in his early fights and schooled Bowe from pillar to post, also exposing Grant. The first legit white hope in a very long time. But we know the rest.......

    He's always my #1 pick for these kinds of threads. That kid had very learned and experienced boxing analysts thinking he was going to be a future star of the sport after only a handful of fights... and then he ran into Juan Carlos Rubio of course and it all went down hill from there. What a waste of such great talent. :-(
