Biggest Prospect Bust

[BuddyChacon]

Hembrick's career really missed the bus Booker Word right hand didn't miss his chin though.

lol!! Man, I remember Anthony doing that choreographed routine with his cornermen before that bout and thinking, "This is one ****y kid"....then Booker landed that shot. OooWee! Damn, what a bust!

I also recall him taking on Toney at 175 and he came to teh ring wearing an Afro-Wig and a mask...looked like "Black Lightning". Oh well, he had the charisma, at least.

Jeff Lacy...

Jeff Lacy hasn't been a bust yet. He lost one fight to Joe Calzaghe. We will know if he's a bust in a year or two.

I meant to put a question mark behind Prospect. Sorry

Initially starting into the professionals Craig Payne was a highley touted amatuer. He lost to Tyrell Biggs in the olympic box offs and was not on the team. However, he had beaten Biggs before aswell as Tefelio Stevenson. The guy was definately a prospect. Unfortunately he didnt do the right things and he only got as far as he has, he was a very talented man. I trained around him alot when I was an amatuer.

Funny thing, Craig and Booker T were working together sparring and such at the gym when I was an amatuer. Bookers a cool guy.

Another guy who comes to mind is Andrew Golata. He had tremendous physical potential. Fernando Vargas has accomplished too much in his career to call him a bust. He has a win over Wright and has been in three huge pay per view fights were he came up just short but fought very well. All in all that is a successful career.

I, for one, don't believe you, as I would say the signs were definately there before the Tyson fight in regards to Biggs falling off, as you called it...

Some unimpressive pre-Tyson performances against some former contenders who had seen better days, like against Renaldo Snipes and especially, David Bey (who beat up & bloodied Biggs in that one), suggests that Biggs was not nearly as good as advertised when he recieved all that hype coming out of the Olympics...Also Biggs' very well publicized problems with drugs & alcohol (inluding an extended stint in rehab previous to facing Tyson) suggest that Biggs had some other issues that didn't allow him to reach what some may have envisioned for him in the pro ranks.

What was that David Bey quote again after his fight with Briggs?

"Ready for Tyson? Hell, he wasn't even ready for me."

Something like that anyways, and a more accurate statement there's never been.
