    Bigger waste of talent?

    These three are the worst I can think of.
    70
    "Iron" Mike Tyson
    32.86%
    23
    "Super" Zab Judah
    44.29%
    31
    "The Polish Cocksucker" Andrew Golota
    22.86%
    16

      Donald Curry
      Michael Nunn
      Terry Norris (still wasn't as good as he could be)
      Mike Tyson

      I wanna say Mark Breland but I think he was just ill-suited for the pros.

          Voted for Judah but 'waste' is misleading. I hate calling him that. He still accomplished much (and still can), but he didn't live up to what he could have been.

          If only he had followed Pernell, and not Iron Mike...

            Bowe is a different case because he had obviously deteriorated from punishment. It's like calling Meldrick Taylor a waste of talent.

              You really think Bowe wasted a lot more talent than Golota did? Golota looked ****ing impressive when he showed up to fight.

                Well... he was a ****ing fatass for a lot of his fights too.

                Shannon Briggs syndrome we call it.

                  Golota was a big stiff. Nothing more than an athletic punching bag. Rid**** had the real talent. It's a shame he totally bitched out out fighting Lennox Lewis.

                    Briggs has asthma, man. Leave him alone... lol.

                    And he showed up overweight for a few fights, yes. But it was compounded by the fact that he couldn't function properly. So I think it's not fair to say he was 'easily' the biggest waste of talent. Should we say the same thing about Buster Douglas for being a fat slob?
