Biggest Underachiever in Boxing

I am going to throw a name out there that although he has been victimized by judges in a few fights, would take a fight at a moments notice, to fight anywhere, against anyone ---- For my money, I would have to say the one fighter who had all the skills, a fighter who had major belt holders duck him, rather than take a chance against him, a fighter, who just never put it all together on the right night was ---- Emanual Burton or Emanual Augustus if you prefer.... Ideally, you should work your way to a title shot in order for champs to "duck" you. Augustus never was in a position where he was a top contender.

ZAB by FAR

im going to have to put on vote out for Rocky Juarez. He keeps getting a shot at greatness but somehow finds a way to shit it all away.

As it says on Williams' official website: "What makes a champion is someone who is down and comes back."

The other guys I mentioned like Ayala, Williams, Ibeabuchi, never made it past the contender/prospect level before squandering their talent. I've heard that Ricardo Williams is out of prison already and looking to make a comeback.

I can't rate underachievers like Mike Tyson, Michael Nunn, Hector Camacho, Riddick Bowe, etc....as the biggest because they still reached the top. Tyson and Camacho are both probables (Tyson a lock) for the HOF, and Tyson is regarded by most to be a top 15, maybe top 10 HW all-time. Bowe still became the HW champ of the world. The other guys I mentioned like Ayala, Williams, Ibeabuchi, never made it past the contender/prospect level before squandering their talent.

Panchito Bojado, one of the best raw talents the game has seen in a long time. Another guy you probably never heard of but is for real is Darling Jiminez. I can totally see him KO'ing Yuriorkis Gamboa and then staying away from boxing for a year or two.

My Picks. . . . . Audley Harrison......Bum Shannon Briggs...former HW Champ Zab Judah. . . .former undisputed WW Champ :ugh: Correction: Audley Harrison......Olympic Gold Medalist>Terrible Pro Shannon Briggs... Showed promise but apart from one lucky win extremely disappointing Zab Judah. . . .Apart from the Spinks fight has found a way to lose every possible competative match despite being naturally gifted

Zab judah, mike tyson are tied former undisputed WW champ Former undisputed HW Champ, and 2 time champ, and youngest HW champ. :ugh: :ugh:

My Picks. . . . . Audley Harrison......Bum Shannon Briggs...former HW Champ Zab Judah. . . .former undisputed WW Champ :ugh:

Zab judah, mike tyson are tied

Zab Super Judah

Tony Ayala Ike Ibeabuchi Ricardo Williams Among champions who really should have done a lot more Riddick Bowe Hector Camacho Sr. Michael Nunn

"ferocious" FERNANDO VARGAS

Biggest Dissapointment / Underachiever?? My Picks. . . . . Audley Harrison Shannon Briggs Zab Judah. . . . Your List kinda says it all... I would like to add Danny Williams to it as well...

How did yall guys forget about Jeff Lacy ?????????? Jeff Lacy was mostly hype. He didn't underacheive because he never had the ability to beat Joe. If they fought 1000 times, Joe would be 1000-0 and Jeff would be 0-1000. If he was able to beat Joe, but didn't, that would be underacheiving.

Zab & Vargas easily come to mind

How did yall guys forget about Jeff Lacy ??????????

Zab judah....
