Boxers with bright future to be gone

Cubans Roberto Balado, the 1992 Olympic and 1989-91-93 world champion, but he was killed in an car accident.

yes he was another great cuban boxer, i think he was an even better boxer than savon

The only one I could think of off the top of my head is "The Duke" Tommy Morrison.
... and fought Lennox in a hard bout.

Didn't Jim Lampley proclaim "It is quickly becoming a blow out"?

[fight fan]

Yeah it was becoming a blowout and did become a blowout!!!

Tommy fought hard and did his best, but Lennox had his jab in Tommy's face the whole night and battered him. Tommy couldn't really land anything of importance and finally was KOed!

Morrison

I liked Tommy Morrison, but I have never seen a man take as bad a beating as he did from Ray Mercer. Out on his feet, Morrison took 7 or 8 of the hardest hits I've ever seen, Each punch helping him stay up from the last. the skinny little Ref couldn't get around Mercer to stop it. But he came back to fight again....

In recent times, I thought Danny Romero looked promising but two even bigger fighters who had great potential to dominate were Tony "El Torrito" Ayala Jr. and Salvador Sanchez. Sanchez did in fact dominate in his short lifespan, including annihilating hall of famer Wilfredo Gomez (who was 33-0 with 32 knockouts at the time), but Sanchez died in a car crash at only 23 yrs old and hadn't even really hit his prime. And Ayala was poised (predicted to) win a world title belt before he got arrested and did hard time for a violent assult and **** charge. A lot of analysts thought he had the potential to beat Leonard, Hagler, Hearns and Duran. Too bad he didn't get in that mix back in the '80s. It could've been a lot more interesting with "The Little Bull" involved in that fray.
