Fighters you picked to be great, and you were wrong...

btw Judah fooled me twice. After the second Spinks fight I thought "ok this idiot finally found focus in the gym and in the ring"... of course he then goes on to lose to Baldomir (which was bad per se and also because it created the basis for Baldomir-Mayweather)

LOL


i'm pretty sure george bush has a gem of a quote out there along those lines


judah conned everybody

Larry Donald, when he defeated Jeremy Williams, who was coming off KO streaks, I thought he's gonna crowded the heavyweight divisions top names. at first I didnt like the idea of Bowe fighting this unbeaten boxer.

Donald wont lose for the next seven years but he never get a title shot, and his second loss was as disappointing performance to Kirk Johnson, he finally got to beat a legend, Evander Holyfield at 42.

Francisco Bojado and Edwin Valero

Bojado was being build up similarly to Miguel Cotto, but this boxer didnt lived up to the hype.

Donald also had a good performance against Valuev at age 38 and past his best by quite a while.

Truth is I thought he beat Valuev easier than Haye or Holyfield.

That was an absolute robbery. It should have been Valuev's first loss.

The most glaring: I told all my boys that Tokumbo Olajide would be the next Roy Jones Jr. just before his fight with the Colombian fellow who nearly decapitated him.

hahaha for sure! i forgot all about Tokumbo Olajide i loved to watch him fight! so smooth with power for sure the next roy!! I asked his old trainer eddie mustafa muhammad what happned to him and he said after he got stopped he just said **** it. and Zab what god- given talent. and i did not see his rise but Bruce Seldon also what a jab that guy had.

David Reid was absolutely ruined by Trinidad I thought he was going to be a superstar

[Marchegiano]

judah is a good one

i thought edwin valero was going to be a great fighter as well so long as he stayed below WW. the best i've ever seen him look is in sparring matches, but the guy had some great moves and serious talent. i wasnt huge on the power, i was big on the other things he did well.


i thought jermain taylor was going to be the next big thing, but it never turned out that way.

meldrick taylor

david tua (he ran into a pretty good HW era, to his credit.)

Ike ibeabuchi (ran into himself)

celestino caballero too. at 122 and even 126 i thought he could have been the goods.

Tua/Ike- me too
