    Champions who didn't reach their potential

    Considering these two were supposed to dominate multiple weight classes and be potential hall of famers according to boxing experts.My two are Junior Jones and Danny Romero. Rid**** Bowe was a huge dissapointment

      1. Mike Tyson
      2. Rid**** Bowe
      3. James "Buster" Douglas....he had the skills, the "want-to" was lacking.
      4. Donald Curry
      5. Ray Leonard....damn retina trouble
      6. Zack Padilla...don't know why he retired when he did...he coulda beat Chavez, or at least gave him merry hell.
      7. Roy Jones Jr.....shoulda fought tougher opponents to prove he was as good as he was.
      8. Greg Page
      9. Tim Witherspoon...should have him at # 2 or 3, really.
      10. Charles Murray....always thought he was better than he showed.

        All good ones, btw Zach Padilla developed a bloodclot on the brain after sparring with Shane Mosley, so he had to retire.

          BuddyChacon....thanks for the info on Padilla. He was one of my favorite fihters. I'll never forget him and Olivares or when he beat Gonzalez on the Foreman-Morrison undercard. I hate to hear that's what happened; but at least he's okay.
