    I might catch **** but I say Joe Calzaghe.

    I think he's a good fighter, but wasted his career fighting Welch fisherman and English butlers.

    Not to mention what he could have been if had a real trainer.

      I think Calzaghe achieved way too much to be classified as being the biggest waste of potential in boxing. Sure, he may have been able to achieve more given what he had, but I don't think you can say his career represents "the biggest waste". That is, unless you think he pretty much could have been the best fighter ever to live.

            I would say anthony mundane, but I don't think he is actually capiable of doing more than he has done.

              when did chris lose? Till he loses he is not a waste of potential. And, if he lost weight, he could very well not make the heavy weight division. Which, with his style, needs to be.

                  Ike Ibeabuchi - if only he was able to conquer his personal demons
                  Zab Judah - if he was only able to conquer his outpour of emotions and be more disciplined in his fights.

                  These guys are still young but have the potential to become wasted talents if they don't get things together.

                  Rey Bautista - the Ponce De Leon match was a killer to his confidence. He's still young so he can still rebound if he can conquer the demons of the loss to Ponce De Leon and the recent one to Ruiz.
                  Cristian Mijares - got KO'd by Darchinyan then lost a controversial SD to Cermeņo. He's been deviating from his bread and butter style and has been slugging to much. He should stick to his slick style.
