Roy Jones JR.
He had plenty of fights he avoided.
No matter what the NUTHUGGERS SAY!

Anthony Mundine.

Rematch with Soliman (3rd fight),

to avoid Kessler.

The sad thing is he has a good chance if he was to fight him. The same with Bute, Froch, Winky, Taylor. He has good hand speed and a top defence. He has power.

Yet we will never know because he has no heart. A sad thing for Australia.

Hmm, I noticed a few people have said Michael Nunn. While I agree he may not have reached his entire potential he certainly was not a waste of talent and did more than most fighters could ever dream of doing. He is very underrated from his loss to Toney and really did do a lot and reached more of his potential than a ton of fighters I could think of, past and present.

He had a string of wins that was quite stunning before Toney. He took out undefeated Frank Tate for the title then defended one fight after another against Juan Roldan, Sambu Kalambay (spectacular first round KO), Iran Barkley, Marlon Starling and Donald Curry! That list of fighters in itself is a very fine resume.

He went on to have some decent victories and regain the WBA title over Victor Cordoba, Merqui Sosa, John Scully and did only lose four fights.

I'd say he did pretty well and while he may not have reached his complete potential he still did a lot and many had him P4P No, 1 at the time of his loss.

Anyway, as someone else mentioned I think Judah could always be brought up in these cases. One of the most stunning physically talented fighters ever. He had everything you could want in a fighter except the big factor, mental strength! Of course there have also been about a million prospects who were touted as the next greatest thing ever only to lose a fight and fall off the face of the earth.

And the ironic thing is that most Australians that compete at the highest level have got that bit of 'Mongrel' about them, but not Mundine. As I've probably said on other posts, the quote (originally used to describe Yasser Arafat) 'he never missed an opportunity to miss an opportunity' really fits him.

Its a shame fighter's egos can't materailse to fight for them Mundine's vs Froch's Ego would need a ring the size of a footie pitch

The name that instantly springs to mind is James Toney.
