..Biggest Could Have Been, That Never Was...

[Da Hammer]

Wait for the Zab posts, proclaiming he could have been God, if only he wasn't ****.

lol well here's one by me

[MANGLER]

Tyson still did enuf to make the history books, but he fell way short of what he seemed capable of. Golota had mad skills, but somehow could never win the big one. It's a shame Augustus never became a superstar. He's got all the talent and charisma a star needs, but he's somehow just a journeyman wit a billion losses.

it were talking about recent fighters it has to been Jeff Lacy.

He was meant to be the next Mike Tyson but was then exposed by Calzaghe and has never been the same since.

Audley Harrison! no just kidding.I would say Tyson.If you were around at the time,It was easy to believe that he would become not only the greatest HW of all time ,but probably the best fighter.And then it all went horribly wrong very quickly.His story is utterly tragic on so many levels.

joel julio!!

Yes Joel Julio is a great one. Watch out for him though he's still very young. I guarentee you when he fights Kirkland, they will be saying Kirkland is the young upcoming prospect, even though they're the same age. Julio unfortunately has run into a couple very good boxers that could take his punch. I wouldn't be surprised to seem him develop into an elite fighter still.

By the way Julio has already fought 36 pro fights and he's only 24 years old. Kirkland is the same age and has 24 fights.

Golata and Judah IMO. Both had the physical attributes to be the greatest of all-time in their respective divisions but they just didn't have it together mentally. what a fcuking waste.

THe one that comes to mind for me is Meldrick Taylor. If only he'd of been born in..... Florida or something. That Philly side wouldn't have been there and he'd have boxed his way to a COMPLETE victory over Chavez.

Damn, what he could have been.

Tony Ayala screwed himself.
Salvador Sanchez and Diego Corrales left too soon.

The problem with Zab Judah that I have is when people say he could have been so much more.

I disagree. He is who he was meant to be. He isn't a focused indivisual and isn't professional in terms of preperation. Seems to generally have stamina problems. He is as good as he'll ever be and ever was gonna be.

People can argue that he he could have changed those things. Perhaps, but that's not the type of person/fighter he is. Plain and simple.

Malignaggi might have great if he had power like Tommy Hearns, but he doesn't and never will. Just like Judah might have been great if he had mental strength. But he doesn't, and never could have and never will.
