      Jeff Lacy is another one. Not sure if you want to call it being 1 dimensional though. But he never went back to work on his craft and come back strong.

          Panchito Bojado - was getting so much coverage as the next "Superstar" people were saying he was better then Vargas and might be better then Delahoya.

          Jose Luis Lopez - had some great power and one of the best chins Ive ever seen, guy pretty much pissed away his boxing career surfing and getting stoned.

              the problem i have with Taylor was he had an Ameteur aproach [not style ] in the sense that he was about rattling of quickfire Combinations with a lot of speed but with not much power in them punches that in Ametuer Boxing score points & when he did sit down on his punches he took it to literally & ended up slugging with his oponent

              i think Terry Norris exposed him as having an Ameteur approach aswell Terry Norris walked right through him

                  Norris was a very good fighter but his chin let him down. I think if he had a good chin he could have beaten Julio Cesar Chavez and some others during his time.

                      yep i think he would have beaten J C Chavez in anycase though IMO ,IF he could stay away from gun slugging he would have outboxed J C Chavez by UD Decision IMO but could he resist a tear up Hmm not sure about that LOL

                      if he had a solid chin he would have eaten J C Chavez for breakfast boxing or fighting
