    - Prince Hamed (I really despise this guy. He got caught-up in his own marketing hype, instead of building his skills and learning to take a punch, he preferred to flop around like a clown)
    - Lennox Lewis (Always be remembered as the guy who didn't / couldn't give Klitchko the rematch that all boxing fans wanted)
    Regarding Lennox - for Christ sake doesnt the guy deserve to go out when HE wants to? - rather than end up a punch drunk has been?

    He took on and beat the best during his time - please stop beating up on the guy, as he always acted in a decent way out of the ring.

    But then Lennox beating aint nothin new on here unfortunatly(much as i love the forums/site).

      I think the biggest waste of talent was Corrie Sanders.

            Without a doubt tyson is the biggest waste of talent in boxing history , if tyson stayed with rooney he could of gone 100-0 without ever being in a competitive fight . Tyson if he stayed with rooney would of become even more dominant as he got older, bear in mind that rooney said tyson only fullfilled 50 % of his boxing potential by that I mean boxing skills .

              its true but sad. after he fired rooney(why did he fired him anyway?) he didnt have the speed(head movement) power left and if that isnt enough he took drugs and no training at all.what a waste of talent.

                I think that Naseem was a wasted talent!... Just because he lost one fight he retired! What a waste!... He was a great fighter that could have gone on to be A GREAT... Shame.

                  Does Joe Mesi count as wasted talent?
