    Fernando Vargas, in a way... he never really got a signature win.

    He beat Winky Wright, back when Wright was a straight slickster, and clearly not as good as he is now, and a lot of people think that decision went the wrong way.

      Ike Ibaeabuchi. he was just about to get good money and make it big until he ****d a woman and was sent off to prison. i dont feel sorry for him its just that he could have been a dominant heavyweight champ.

        Judah to me because allthough i am a fan apart from Spinks he never wins the big fights and he just didnt fullfill his early potential.

        Lacy got exposed but could still shine as he has been given a golden opportunity (excuse the pun)

        Micheal Grant

        Vargas has had a similar career to Judah

        and many others but there the main ones

          I would say Daniel Santos, had a good win recently and has some goods wins on his resume but he ain't boosted to what I thought he would be.

          Calvin Brock, he basically went from ShoBox to SHO and back to ShoBox after getting crushed.

          Hector Camacho Jr, kid has a few good wins under his belt, it hurts to say that about him because I'm coo with his uncle but whats true is true, he knows he needs to come back strong, question is will he do it.

          last but not least Luis Collazo, he got all the shot, he basically beats Ricky then hurts his hands for Shane, just pure bad luck following him O and Hercules Kyvelos, undefeated Puerto Rican kid who had it all going for him until he faced Margarito, it was one of the wins that established Tony as that big threat he was known for being.. I got many many more, I'll post a few more later.. 100

            Wright wasnt a slickster for that fight. Everyone was in awe of how he completely changed his style, wright had that fight won but blew it in the later part of the fight thinking he had a huge lead

              Well he certainly didn't play the role of his slickster self in that fight... I merely said that he was a slickster because that was back before he developed his defensive matrix come forward style, so it's a good win for Vargas, but not great.

              Just like the Jones Jr. win over Hopkins. Hopkins was still a boxer-puncher of sorts, instead of his ring control style that he developed after he became middleweight champion.
