Fighters That You Thought Were Gonna Be Great, But Flopped?
Name some fighters that you thought were gonna be great and really achieve alot, but just didn't live up to potential and flopped?
Past or Present.
no jeff lacy???????????????????????????
ha ha! yes,forgot about "left hook", i wouldnt call Vargas a flop, he did everything in a short amount of time,instead of spread out through a lengthy career.lol
Anthony Mundine. Turned pro at 26 with no amateur career. Lost only to Ottke, Kessler and Manny Siaca with an injured ankle. Tremendous handspeed and ringsmarts, but suffered a freak eye injury - cleaning a contact lens with a spit and polish after an eye operation destroyed half(?) his vision in one eye. Fought a sad parade of nobodies in the years since and relinquished a title to avoid a Kessler rematch. Still claims to be a pound for pound champion though is slated to fight a guy with a 7-1 record in his next bout, delayed because of injuries. Incredible how people rubbish Cotto and Judah et al with a fraud like Mundine on the scene. He could of been so much more.

Joma Gamboa
Randy Suico
Jimrex Jaca :(
young guys with only 1 (legit) loss shouldnt be included. they still got time to make something out of their career.
linares, ortiz and andy lee still have time to make smth out of their careers.
i was one of the many who thought linares was like the perfect fighter, but he was too good to be true. his chin's a fatal flaw. im hoping it was just a matter of him being caught cold. has anybody else seen any hints of his chin being that bad?
true i was gonna hold off on putting them in my list but something tells me they're damaged goods now.oh yeah, what about arcelino frietas? u consider him a flop? i would almost feel like calling hamed a flop but cant overlook what he did for the lighter wieghts,i can definately call brian viloria a flop,what u think?

I wouldn't say they were flops... But, I thought they really had potential to do something big but there careers was cut short cuz of going to jail. Harry Simon and Ike Ibeabuchi... Tony Ayala Jr is also on the same boat but he was before my time...
augie sanchez the kid had vicious power but when he got to the pros naseem proved he did not have any type of chin,edner cherrys the most recent i thought he would be a belt holder by this point.
haha floyd mayweather i know ill get some hate mail ya he has fought some good fights but i dont kno that he ever put it on the line to establish a legacy we will c after mosley tho thats his toughest fight yet
I'd have to Rocky Juarez, Zab Judah, Bronco Mckart, Panchito Bojado, David Reid, David Tua,vicente escobedo and even though the next guys are relatively young like Bojado i dont think they'll ever mentally recover from devasting losses,Jorge Linares, Ricky hatton, ponce de leon, Victor Ortiz, and i hate to say my main man Juan Diaz. As a fan of a lot of these fighters, it pains my heart to feel this way about them. Jorge linares out of everyone on the list and possibly Victor Ortiz and i have very little hope for juan diaz to be able to salvage their careers,with the help of the right trainers and handlers,plus they have the help of father time on their hands,but the rest like juarez and judah unfortunately dont have the luxury of being young,whatever they were gonna do with careers' would've been done by now. I feel like im leaving out others,my mind slips me.
BOJADO................. that is a good one to point out. dude was hyped so much by everyone, it made me not like him, and then when he fell off, not one of my friends or one of his fans said shit and never talked about him again........
Andy Lee but maybe its too early to bail on him yet but he's done nothing to for the past 2 years and he nearly got ko'd in the last round of his last fight(cant remember guys name) after dominating the whole fight.
biggest flops that come to mind in RECENT MEMORY...
