    Howard Davis, Leon Spinks come to mind.

      Fraudley Harrison....He was a great amatuer and won an olympic gold medal, but he turned out to be a total bum as a pro.

        He didn't suck as a pro, but Howard Davis Jr was the only guy on the stellar 76 Olympic team that won a gold medal that didn't win a world championship in the pro's.

        I like him in the Olympics as a kid, even more than SR Leonard

          Tyrell Biggs was a bit of a failure in the pros.

            My boy Leon beat Ali in his seventh pro fight.

            You're just biased because he only had three teeth.

            Hatin on Leon. damn.

              Howard Davis was a disappointment, Mark Breland never matched expectations either.

                Spinks beat an old man, who some believe may have been suffering from the onset of Parkinsons.

                He then lost the rematch, when Ali actually trained for a 12 round fight.

                    Tyrell Biggs got lit up in the pro by a lot of guys too and he won gold.
                    He damn near got decapitated a couple of times.
