Who Do You Think Is The Biggest Wasted Talent In Boxing?

Kenny Rainford. Beat arguably the best fighter of all-time and still never quite reached all-time great status or became the first true PPV draw of our time. Greatness in the sport of boxing is so incredibly fleeting, guys. That's why we need to pay more respect, despite our differences in alliances, to recent greats like Mayweather, Pacquiao, Cotto, Sergio Martinez, Bernard Hopkins, and Andre Ward. To name a few. Rainford could have and should have exceeded all of those names, but didn't. It's a shame. He owns a single win that trumps any name on any of those dude's resumes yet Rainford, somehow, never became a household name. How is that even possible? :bukkake:

Adrien Broner

Frankie Gomez He definitely comes to mind. still pretty young..doesn't take care of himself and has wasted and f*cked off much of his career to this point.... but then can just show up and barely get touched by Herrera. I can't remember back through every Herrera fight but I don't remember him ever getting schooled like that. Gomez has such great instincts in the ring, that type stuff isn't easy to come by. definitely a waste

Yeah, I found a trainer, and assumed that was the guy he was talkin about. I thought he might've been referring to some user who'd say "Oh my gawd," or something. Emanuel Steward was more than a trainer. He founded the Kronk gym in Michigan and he trained some great fighters- Lennox Lewis, Wladimir Klitschko and some others. He was also an announcer on HBO boxing.

Guess you took the Steward part out. Glad you figured out who the Legend was! Yeah, I found a trainer, and assumed that was the guy he was talkin about. I thought he might've been referring to some user who'd say "Oh my gawd," or something.

Can users delete threads? I'm not trying to keep this one up. Guess you took the Steward part out. Glad you figured out who the Legend was!

Corrected it for you, anytime you on these here forums you pay homage to the late great Emanuel Steward! Can users delete threads? I'm not trying to keep this one up.

man you already created this thread you ****ing nerd (today too bythe way) https://www.boxingscene.com/forums/showthread.php?t=769693 That thread went up? When I checked my thread history, it was missing, and it wasn't on the forums, so I assumed something went wrong and re-did it. Oh my fucking god.

Devon Alexander is one. Got a pain pill addiction. I think Brook had more potential but going up to 160 broke not only his face, but his confidence. Side note; Tyson Fury is not the biggest waste of talent, but opportunity. Got everything he ever worked toward, and immediately imploded.
