Bigger waste of talent?

[Welter_Skelter]

Of this list... Zab Judah

But My number one choice is Floyd Joy Sinclair Mayweather JR

[DIOS DOMINICANO]

Guys,

I disagree with those of you picking Mike Tyson. He was the UNDISPUTED heavyweight champion of the world and the P4P #1 fighter for three years.

Similarly, Zab Judah was the UNDISPUTED welterweight champion and is a perennial top 5/top 10 welterweight.

I reserve "waste of talent" for guys like Oliver McCall. Or Michael Grant. Or Andrew Golota. Or Paul Spadafora.

Mike Tyson is a Hall of Famer.

Zab Judah is the biggest waste of talent.
**** that ***** Golota, never liked him.
Never like Zab for that matter.

I disagree with Mayweather being a waste of talent. I wish I could be as talentless. lol

Ike ibeabuchi, 80's heavyweights like dokes, carl williams was a waste he had great boxing skills.

I'd say Tyson, even though he accomplished a lot, he lost out on a bunch of prime years in prison.

Judah acc a fair bit, and though still an underachiever, has time to turn his career back around if he can just work on the mental aspect of it.

Though Golota had Rid**** Bowe's number, he was KO'd inside of 2 rounds by Lewis, Brewster, older Tyson, so I don't think he had the chin to go much further than he did.

Ike, I think is a bigger waist of talent than the above three, due to his career being cut so short. The guy was a monster.

Naseem Hamed is possibly top 2-3 most talented fighters of the last 30 years and his career is extremely forgettable.

I agree, I think he was the biggest waste of talent along with tyson. I think a different strategy vs barrera in a rematch and a new trainer would've really catapolted him. there is no doubt that he was one of a kind.

PRINCE NASEEM HIGHLIGHTS

I agree with that pick as well.

Honorable mention Roy Jones Jr.

Took him a year to defend the MW crown. Never gave ny rematched to Hopkins or Toney. Fought a mailman, cop and waste disposal worker during the mid-late '90s.

Missed out of fighting (and possibly beating) Benn, Eubanks, Nunn, Calzaghe, and Maske.

Naseem retiring at 28 was a bit of a waist. I didn't like some of his antics, but the guy was definitely a talent.
