    rid**** bowe= was just plain nasty for a while

    Ayala was never gonna be better than Chavez.
    He was slow, easy to hit, & was almost KO'd in an early fight.

    Plus, if he avoids jail....he winds up in the mix with Hagler, Hearns, & Leonard.
    These guys would have BUTCHERED his chubby ass.

      Greg Page- very special, could have truly been a great fighter, but politics,lack of development as a fighter, and his eating habits destroyed him.
      Michael Dokes-Drugs, and lack of development hurt him.
      Davey Moore-probably shouldn't have fought Duran, but could have been better than what he was.
      Bernard Taylor-should have fought better competition.Actually was beating Predroza in their fight.
      Howard Davis Jr.-maybe should have moved up to junior welterweight.May not have beaten Pryor, but just about everyone else.

        No way Moorer would have blasted Jones out of this world, he was the biggest puncher in the Light-Heavyweight division bar none

          Barry McGuigan not because he wasnt talented but because he got screwed by his manager and all that. Still was a great fighter though. He had bad luck with cuts too.

            Tyson - never reached his potential, ended up being a hard hitting circus act.

            Mosley - with the exception of RJJ, I can't think of anyone else who looked (at lightweight) like they desereved the nickname "Sugar" more.

            Rid**** Bowe - for obvious reasons

            Aaron Pryor - "The Hawk" was one of the toughest, most complete fighters you'll ever see. But look where he stands all time for his accomplishments.

                    Tony Tucker had more potential than Bowe.He be doing the drugs even before he fought Tyson.Also, unlike Bowe, he was not into the ****sexual tendencies that Big Daddy exhibited towards Newman.

                      1) Bowe- The best heavyweight while Tyson was in prison but could've been much more.
                      2) McClellan- Struck down in his prime.
                      3) Tyson- He was champ but if his personal life didn't go down the comode he could have been one of the greatest fighters ever.
                      4) Curry- Became champ quickly and then fell off the boxing charts just as quickly.
