    to answer the poll question yes its gotta be Zab Judah for me, he had the potential to beat anyone in the divisions he fought in.
    no discipline though

        he comes in the ring with conditioning of a regular pub boozer

        another guy who has great potential if could be serious is chris areola. if he lost that fat he would be a serious threat
        he would be a super middleweight.

          Kessler and Sturm are wastin away. PBF needs to fight the best WW comp while he's still got some prime time left. Tyson fell way short of his overall potential. Same wit Zab.

            Cotto and Kessler ain't wastes of potential because they don't have that much potential. They're both doing the best they can, it's just that they're best isn't very good.

            Biggest waste is Jermain Taylor. He should be so much better than he is.

                It amazes me that people can still come into this thread and say Floyd Mayweather, but anyway.

                IMO the biggest waste of talent in the history of the sport is Salvador Sanchez. Obviously it was tragic circumstances that resulted in this talent being wasted, but regardless, it was still wasted talent. In my opinion, had Sanchez had fought for a full-length career, he would be regarded as one of the top 10 p4p fighters in the sport's history.

                  Allan Green. The guy's got a great fighter's physique, is very skilled, but is not getting the big fights...

                    From those that I've seen consistently, it's gotta be Audley. I don't know what he would've looked like with better technique and an ability to actually throw punches, but he surely had some power behind him that could've made him A-Force to be reckoned with...

                    (d'oh!)

                      I thought he'd lost a **** load of weight?
