Who was the biggest bust in boxing history ???

Gamboa, Lacy, Harrison,

 

courage shabalala

i remember hearing alot of hype about this guy

i believe he knocked out every fighter as an am

 

Panchito Bojado.

Audley.

Omar Chavez.

Derrick "Michael Grant II" Jefferson

Guzman (never really did anything with all that prime talent, except make Soto look bad)

Michael Oliveira.

Derric Rossy...some fans may remember, back when he first came on the scene there was much hullabaloo about football players transitioning into boxing to "revitalize" the American HW scene. It was thought guys like Rossy, Tom Zbikowski, and later Seth Mitchell would really take over the division and topple Klitschko to reestablish US dominance by rerouting that athleticism from team sports that had supposedly "drawn all our potentially great heavies away".

 

Howard Davis JR.

 

Hatton overachieved for his potential as a fighter.. He doesn't qualify for a bust.

 

I am not sure I could call Jermain Taylor a bust, as he dethroned and ATG MW...

But I expected more out of him after beating Hopkins for sure.

 

He didn't follow up on the promise of twice beating Hopkins (cue grumbling about the scoring both times) by going on to do anything else great but yeah - the lineal middleweight champion of the world can't be called a bust no matter how short his reign or his prime.

 

That's like saying "Henry Tillman"

Some guys just aren't cut out for the pros.

 

Probably Audley.

 

Rocky Juarez. As much as I like him as a fighter, his expectations were very high, and although he always made a good account of himself, win or lose, he never quite lived up to the expectations after winning a silver medal in the olympics.

Camacho Jr. You could put him on a long list of fighters who unfortunately came from fighting greatness and couldn't quite live up to dads standard.

 

Decent choice. He was hyped a lot by HBO's Larry Merchant, and one of the worse chins of all time.

 

Good shout.

 

Chin wasn't his problem.

His heart was.

 

watching him fight and win ny GG on espn, i thought Carl "the truth" Williams was going to dominate the heavyweight division.

...also breland.
