    The best that never was...

    This one could be interesting: Who is the best boxer that never made it for whatever reason or did not reach his potential. I will start small and we'll build it up. Offer some explanations if you would.

    1. Ruben Hurricane Carter
    2. Ike Ibeauchi
    3. David Tua

                But without Cus, who would have made sure he was well trained and concentrated on what mattered.

                  I wish Tua would fight alittle more frequently; he could get himself back into the mix with a few big wins against decent competition...
