    I think one should mention Mike Tyson! Tyon could have been so much bigger and better than he was. If say Cus hadn`t died when he did and Rooney stayed with him and Mike stayed sain, i think he would have gone down as one of the true greats. Now he is the champ who lost every fight where some one stood up to him, not a champion at all!

      How is Casamayor a *****? I agree he can be alot better if he boxes more rather than slugging it out but that doesn't make him a *****. Remember Frietas doesn't want to give him a rematch and Corrales has not made an attempt to make a rubbermatch after Casamayor gave him a rematch. I think you should question them more than Casamayor.

        Ike Ibeabuchi! IKe Ibeabuchi! Ike Ibeabuchi! That man could have ruled the heavyweight division with an iron fist for as long as he wanted. He could have been a real undisputed hw champ, there's nobody out there now who could hang with Ike in his prime. NOBODY! Ike makes me sad, he's the biggest waste of talent in the last 30 years!

          If Meldrick Taylor didn't have JCC around he would have been great. Or maybe even if he had been able to continue in that first fight (unlikely he had the fight beat out of him).

          David Reid
          Bowe
          Ike Quartey (long layoffs and decisions)

                  It's very sad that so many people that have so much talent throw it away.

                    DONALD CURRY.....

                    Between '84 - '86.....I have never seen a better fighter.
                    This S.O.B. could do everything...& do everything exceptionally well.
                    He was fighting a decent amount, always against the best opposition....& winning in brilliant fashion.
                    Then, somewhere along the way.....he lost it. Don't know how or why, but it just disappeared.

                    JOSE LUIS LOPEZ.....

                    This guy had dynamite in both hands. Hands that moved very quickly, & put together beautiful combos. He had a granite chin.
                    Had he been more aggressive, he'd have taken out Ike Quartey.
                    But, he was too laid back...in & out of the ring.
                    Surfing, eating, smoking weed.....they were bigger "passions" than boxing, & that's why he never made it to the big time.
