BOXING's COULD HAVE BEEN GREATS!

i'm not finishing this post until i remember his name .... AHHH! FRANCISCO PANCHITO BOJADO - fast ass hands, concussive power, great lateral movement - dude had infinite potential - 2 years ago i was telling people how this'll be the epitome of taino/azteca war w/ he and cotto going at it.

anyone remember this dude?

Panchito was the truth hopefully he makes a comeback, with a couple of decent opponents it would be great to see him go at it with Cotto I think that would be another classic PR/Mex war.

Tim Witherspoon

Eddie Mustapha Muhammad

Tony Ayala maybe

Donald Curry - for all those pondering the expert theory was that he stayed at welter too long. His last couple of fights he had had trouble making the weight apparently and this as well as Honeyghan being vastly underrated supposedly contributed to his loss, from which he never recovered really. They say he should have hit Junior Middle a couple of fights earlier than this fight.

Aaron Pryor - we never got to see how good he really was.

Jef Chandler - JUST missed.

Hector Camacho - changed dramatically after Rosario frightened him.

Sal Sanchez - untimely death.

Tony Ayala was a tremendous talent, but there were probably several who would have handed him defeat.

I totally agree.

Ayala was fierce, & could really punch....but he was competing in the era of Leonard, Hearns, & Hagler. They'd have all MURDERED him.
He also would have been chopped up by McCallum, & beaten by a motivated Duran.

He had defensive liabilties....wasn't that fast, & could be rocked.

He was very, very exciting, though.

I thought ricardo williams had the potential to be great, he was so elusive, he had the potential to be better defensively than mayweather in my opinion...

Andrew Golota: shoulda kept his head straight. couldve beaten any HW except lewis.

Meldrick Taylor: Richard Steele robbed taylor in the biggest fight of taylor's life.

Rid**** Bowe: shoulda kept his weight down.

Arturo Gatti: shoulda changed his style earlier in his career.

i hope so dude - someone needs to take this dude under his wing and impart some drive in him. those were the good days, when he and cotto were on a crash course to meet in like 2006 - that loss to rubio and jesse james - although i thought were bad, unmotivated losses - not detrimental to the kids career.

had he kept on - both he and cotto wudda made MILLIONS bringing another pr/mex war.

hopefully he emerges again - this time sticking it out with ONE g'damn trainer.

Definitely Rid**** Bowe, only 1 career loss and he avenged it. If he just fought and beat Tyson or Lewis (which I am not sure if he could) he would have been the best fighter of the times, instead of fourth

Ike Quartey- Inactivity for so long and then losing his desire to fight after a controversial loss to DLH.

Razor Ruddock- After his 2 fights with Tyson he was never the same fighter.

Mike Tyson- With his personal troubles affecting him in the ring we never saw his true potential because he rose to the top so fast & lost really before he hit his prime and then was jailed.

Ike had lost the true desire to fight before he fought Oscar DeLaHoya.
He had been horribly inactive.
