who seemed to be good but never made it?

Lots of names already mentioned but Tua, Grant, and Judah are the ones I really agree with.

It’s hard to blame a boxer for falling short of expectations because they don’t control what other people’s beliefs are of them. As a boxer it isn’t what you could be, or what you didn’t get to be, you simply just are. So if these boxers fell short of our expectations that is our problem, not theirs.

Yinka Dare. Isiah Thomas called him "Stinka".

Meldrick Taylor was a joy to watch, he could have been one of the all-time greatest. Saw him fighting here in Denmark some years ago, that was a very sad sight. He could hardly speak and his lightning fast hands were long gone.

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.

Quartey and Marquez are good wins.
