Which one of these fighters had the talent to be a top 5 of all time? but didnt

Hi guys,I know Zab judah,but I don't really know his story,why was he supposed to be a lot better than what he did??I thought when he said in an interview with Miguel Cotto that he was the number #1 P4P, i thought he was a joke,but someone can tell me why he was supposed to be an all time greatest?? Thanks Judah is one of the fastest fighters of all time. His reflexes are/were insane. Think of it this way: he's the only guy who caught Mayweather clean on more than one or two occasions. He is a huge waste of talent

Sam Langford man. If he had proper training and better opportunities, who knows how good he could have been

If Floyd had the mentality of DLH (fighting the best), he would be one of, if not the greatest of all-time. If he stays retired we will never really know how great he was.

Charley Burley, he just never got his shot, he must have been something special if Eddie Futch said that Burley was the best fighter he's ever seen.

Salvador Sanchez GREAT footwork,good defence,precision puncher and lots of heart

Really? Fill me in on this please. I didn't know. I know Gonzalez and Lopez were stablemates, so that's why, but why didn't Lopez and Carbajal fight? Lopez tried and tried for years to get the match and carbajal acted like lopez didnt excist. ask any fan from the early and mid ninties

Why'd you quote my post again?

From the poll options I'll go with Charley Burley. Man was incredible. Potentially Ricardo Lopez as well. It would have really helped if he would have gone up to 108 and fought Carbajal. Not fighting Chiquta was understandable, but he should have fought Carbajal. Your poll is missing the most obvious possible candidate. This is like an NYT push poll. You work for the New York Times or what? :rolleyes: who do you mean?

Carbajal openly avoided lopez he wouldnt even be in the same room as him Really? Fill me in on this please. I didn't know. I know Gonzalez and Lopez were stablemates, so that's why, but why didn't Lopez and Carbajal fight?

We'll never know how much success Sanchez might have had moving up in weight as was talked about before his untimely death. We saw ATGs Gomez and Zarate fail in their attemps. Moving up two weights, if he faced off against Arguello at 135 in a much publicized mega-fight, personally I'd pick Arguello. At 126 he was nearly unstoppable though.

From the poll options though I would have to go with Sal Sanchez. He was an incredible fighter. Unfortunately we were deprived of discovering how good he could have become.

James Toney without a ****ing doubt. **** Zab Judah. I will second James Toney. Just imagine Toney with the work ethic of say a Floyd Mayweather. Incredible.

Floyd Mayweather

James Toney without a ****ing doubt. **** Zab Judah.

in every thread about failed talent..judah and tyson are the obvious choices tyson didn't fail. he did what he was suppose to.
