    Where is Bowe? He would have to be ranked up there.
    Only 2 of the choices held belts, Bowe had successful title defenses, but I agree a case could be made for him over a Toney or Fields for sure...

        I think Tua is missing motivation for taking on Top 10 guys in the division right now, there's no other explanation....he's even fought on cards WITH other major names, and he can't get a fight with any of them? And not taking his promoters to court, etc.?
        Not now, but back in his prime. No one would give him a shot, guys like Ruiz, Rahman, Maskaev (recently) were getting titles shots and Tua only got one against Lennox Lewis of all people. Bad Management.

          Putting Tye Fields on there is a JOKE. I think a blown up Super Middleweight in James Toney is a joke aswell.

            Golota is the biggest waste of potential Talent.
            Tommy Gunn is the biggest waste of Heavyweight Hype.
            Butterbean is the biggest waste of time.

              My vote goes to Zab Judah. He had all the tools to be the greatest of this generation but overconfidence and mental breakdown after mental breakdown had him doing the chicken dance with tzsyu, getting beaten by guys that have absolutely no business beating him and just looking plain ****** in general

                Corrie Sanders has got to be way up there.
                Fast hands, devastating southpaw power but his prime was squandered away by mismanagement and lack of work ethic.

                  Poor Zab. He even gets criticised for being a **** heavyweight

                    Oliver McCall. one of the best chins Ive seen regardless of weight...and he had so much natural power. wouldnt even load up on shots and his opponents would be out cold. his old trainers always said that he would be drugged up the night before fights, barely train, runnin around with hookers the night before, crazy stuff...

                    yet on his best night, he was KOing Lennox Lewis. on his worst night, he was walkin around the ring crying. very strange guy.

                      Golota had lots of talent, but I've always thought he may have some kind of mental problem.
