Naseem Hamed, Junior Witter

................No way would anyone on here cosign that

[P4PKING_2008]

Zab Judah no question he would be better and bigger than floyd if he had his trainer and mental capabilities.

Greg Page - highly hyped, the next big thing in the heavyweight division - became an erratic stepping stone.

Tim Witherspoon - loads of talent - very badly managed, but still, a little more determination could of seen him through. 10 years too late he finds it.

Buster Douglas - one of the most talented heavyweights of all time. Completely focused for one bout in his career, won the undisputed championship. Too bad about the rest of his fights.

Anthony Mundine - loads of talent. Career's still going, but all Mundine has proved so far is that he's a very big fish in a very little pond.
No sign that this will ever change.

Ike Ibeabuchi would've been the one of the greatest heavyweights all time. if he kept fighting he would be undisputed heavyweight champion. you seen what he did to chris byrd and david tua. it's a sad thing,sad thing.

Who publishes this guy's stuff? First off, Michael Grant cannot seriously be called a disappointment in boxing because he did amazingly well for a guy with absolutely no talent or chin (or balance for that matter). The fact that Mr. Costello expected greatness from Grant says a lot about his grasp of the sport. Also, whether or not he is fan of Cory Spinks, why exactly is Cory's birth listed as his father's dubious achievement? What a douchebag this guy is.

Jeff Lacy soon to be on that list me thinks.

#1, #3, #5, #7- All undefeated and all had promising careers until they met an assassin in Felix Trinidad and their careers were ruined. That is the type of fighter Tito was. This man ended careers and was the first to take the "0" from all of the guys. Not sure why people don't rank him as one of the greats that ever laced up the gloves. The ring Magazine had it's top 20 all time greats in the welterweight division and Oscar and Shane were just honor mentions and hell Tito didn't even make the cut...damn even the so called "Bible of Boxing" gets the game wrong at times!

First off Reid had droopy eye problem his career wouldn't have been long anyway, and fighters like Vargas, Carr, would have never have beat Oscar, Mosley, Tito, etc thats why i can't understand why people class them as underachievers because they couldn't have achieved anymore than what they did.

And Campas was decent fighter with good power but most of wins were against cab drivers he was never at the elite level.

And i just see that Terry Norris is on the list ?? he is considered one of the best Jr Middleweights of all time and is in the Hall Of Fame i hardly consider that under achieving.

[Burning Desire]

I mean where are fighters like,

Pancho Villa
Salvador Sanchez

These fighters died so young and they already are considered ATG's just imagine what they could have achieved. Now thats what i call someone who didn't get a chance to achieve what they could have.

Yeah but you have to admit that before they met Tito they were all highly regarded as the next big thing. They all had promising careers and they just all got in the ring with a guy who physically destroyed careers not just mentally but physically he aged each fighter years after being in the ring with him. That is crazy. Also Terry Norris was good but when Tito called his number he ran away quickly. He had the opportunity to take advantage and fight a real young lion at the time but refused to take that fight so I don't want to give him all the props for what he refused to do.
