Biggest Waste Of Potential/Talent EVER?

[The Surgeon]

"President" Ike Ibeabuchi

Oh yeah and I'll go with Rid**** Bowe. Eddie Futch thought he had potential, so you know the talent was there, just not the consistent work ethic, except for the Holyfield fights, at least the first 2.

come on guys!!! Tyson!!!! REally? I mean Tyson accomplished quite a bit and at least he was a champ so we know how good he was.... Ditto for guys like Bowe and even Morrison, guys who we at least got a gander at during the big time.

I can think of sooo many and luckily someone mentioned Ike Iebuchi Thanks! meaning I get to go with another heavyweight......Man there were a lot of guys who it seemed woulda coulda shoulda and had the talent to make it happen.....I am thinking of Dokes, Witherspoon and others but you know what?

The guy I have in mind on a good day would have beat them all the same night. This guy was rumered to have Tyson on the run...(no not Mitch
green)this guy even gave us a glimpse when he beat an ATG named Lennox Lewis....this guy is none other than Ollie Oliver Mccall.

Mccall.... the atomic bull, the perfect size for a heavyweight, with explosive nasty power, an iron chin. If Mccall had just had the discipline, could have stayed sharp and away from the drugs I believe this guy would have reigned supreme

Can one give an "Honorable mention" to Lamont Brewster? The guy showed tremendous heart and chin against Wlad, and he destroyed the foul Pole so fast that the large polish crowd did not have time to unfurel their flags.....seriously! He looked like a wrecking crew against Golata....the thing with Brewster was probably a management/ trainer issue. He lost ****** fights to decent smaller heavies who would outbox him.

It always seemed to me that if he had the guidance he could have won fights he lost on decision and if he had kept motivated and explosive he seemed destined for great things. But alas it was not to be.

Jorge Linares

Donald Curry appeared to be nearly unbeatable for a few years. Definitely seemed like he was going to be an ATG... and then CRASH.

Edwin Valero

[BKM-2010]

Mayweather wasted a lot of years/fights of his prime. He could have fought Margarito, a fresher Cotto, Pac, Paul Williams, Martinez all when they were at the peak of their hype.
