Biggest Waste of Talent
Who do you think was the biggest waste of talent in boxing. I don't mean a total scrub, but somone who has all the tools/skills to be great but didn't live up to their potential. Some that come to mind for me are:
Rid**** Bowe: He beats a prime Holyfield and then never fights close to that again. Instead he starts talking trash, gains weight and stops training. His last fight with Golota was embarassing, he was in no shape to be in there like that.
Corrie "the golfer" Sanders: A 6'4 power puncher with great agility and hand speed. He just never seemed to have any boxing skill, he'd just stalk his opponent, throw a weak jab and have his left hand ****ed trying to land a big shot. He also didn't seem to train hard and came in overweight for Vitali, a fight he might have been able to win otherwise.
Mike Tyson: He has all the skills to probably be the best heavyweight of all time. Instead he got ****y, stoped training and started partying like a rock star. He deserted his trainer and boxing skills and became a headhunter who got embarrssed by Holyfield and Lewis (and lesser opponents as well).
