    Fernando Vargas had the potential, talent, and heart to become an all-time great.

    David Reid had a bright future IMO not so as Vargas but could have won a title later when he developed more and being rushed.

    Emmanuel Augustus....if he had proper management and training camps world class fighters have he may have been a top contender or a champion, he sure had the talent.

    Juan Manuel Marquez....should have fought the great mexican duo Morales and Barrera much younger and even missed fight Hamed in his prime. Taking care of business late in career but he could have accomplished more.

    Went 12 rounds in his 2nd pro fight, and won by KO in the 12th.

    I have to agree with whoever said Mike Tyson.....If King never had him he would have been more successful.

    Juan Manuel Marquez.

    Nacho Beristain is a great trainer and all that but he ****ed Juan over in the managerial side of things.

    Cant stand the fool,but i think that audley harrison must have made the worst mistake of his life in becoming his own manager,and then fighting nothing but poor fighters,should have gone with someone decent and worked his way up,doubt he would have won a title,but he may have done better,learned a few things and well who knows what may have occured,he probaly got lazy and ****ed about with training,after all who was gonna have a go at him,a real manager would have maybe been oln his back

    Oleg Maskaev by a country mile, I cannot believe that guy fought who he fought, didn't he have a say in any of it?

    Mosely might have not OPTIMIZED his management--but he still won titles, got superfights, and wasn't overly damaged.

    Once Vargas got wrecked, he was a goner.

    Shows you the heart and determination of Maskaev in winning a title at 36 in spite of everything against him.

    That is what Cooney says, but it's wrong. Holmes was a bad style match for Cooney and nothing is going to change that. By the way, 10 mil wasn't too terribly hard to take.

    Zab Judah.

    I mean honestly he could own and i mean own 140 right now.

    I mean can you honestly see Zab losing to
    Hatton
    Witter
    Hopkins
    Torres
    Rees
    and any other 140 fighter out there.
