    Gamboa,lara,rigo, luis ortiz

    All cubans why are there careers not what they should be?

    Gamboa pulled outta rios fight n made questionable decisions.

    Ortiz hit the scene old then got busted for peds , n rigo n lara are black listed cuz there boring to alot of fans n there high risk . So whos fault is it? Was up with these wasted careers?

    without doubt its Floyd Joy Sinclair Mayweather jr
    Floyd was born with incredible God Given boxing talents. He could & should be universally acknowledged today as being one of the greatest ever in the sport BUT For reasons known only to him he became just a very talented cherry picker who talked big but couldn't back it up
    Had he fought his legitmate contenders he may well have beaten them all & really be compared to Ali,
    Robinson etc Instead & with the cloud of suspicion over the illegal IV saga & his failure to provide a legitimate reason for it hanging over his head, he really earns the title of most wasted talent EVER

    how are you the most wasted talent ever when your the highest earner ever in the sport and set records doing so while also being considered one of the 50 best to ever do it.....this logic is seriously that of a crazy person who has an obsession with someone....stalkerish even.

    Having a very debateable 0 & earning big $$$$$ fighting cherry picked opponents while having your butt covered by the state boxing commission & Vegas boxing officials doesn't make you a best of all time.
    no one denies his incredible talent but talent alone does not make an ATG
    If he had a set of CHAMPIONS COJONES to match that talent THEN maybe he;d be top 5 of all time
    I stated on here and other avenues that If he could fight & beat Pacquaio on a level playing field on May2 2015 I would publically apologize to him & call him CHAMP!!!!!! As we all know he could not do that the state commission, USADA & Vegas boxing made sure Mayweather couldn't lose. Not to mention the ILLEGAL EXCESSIVE 750 ML OF SALINE HE WAS CAUGHT RECEIVING IN HIS OWN HOME ON MAY 1 2015. THAT THE NSAC CHOSE TO IGNORE !!!
    Could have, Should have but didn't

    Think you have that the other way around. Tua lost a hard fight in that one, no one else gave Ike a run for his money like that and Ike was never the same after that fight.

    I disagree here Any demons Ike had were festered by being kept in jail for 14 months heavily sedated almost like a zombie for fear of what he "MIGHT" do. I knew Ike for most of his boxing career in the US in Texas, Sure he was no angel but neither was he the evil monster the media would have you believe
    He never touched that hooker or the police if he had they'd have been injured neither was
