The best fighter that never realized his own potential....

[Mayorga-Rules]

Hasim Rahman. He was big, strong, had a very good jab and a huge right hand. If he was as dedicated as he was in his first years, would have worked with a top trainer, he would be a real champ today.

[TyroneSpong]

Zab Judah, one of the most physically gifted fighters who just doesn't have the mental toughness.

yup, he's physically more talented than PBF, just doesn't have the heart or discipline and chin.

[TyroneSpong]

I personally think that he would give Pacquiao hell....until the later rounds where his "mental toughness" would be his downfall via 10th-11th round TKO....

Not exactly. Zab excels against opponents that he can completely overwhelm with his speed. That won't happen against Pacquiao. And with his chin he wouldn't last long with Pacquiao.

roy jones....he shouldve been the GOAT........

Naseem Hamed.

To me Hasim Rahman was never going to amount to anything....big, yes, strong, yes.....I think any heavyweight would have some pop in their strong hand....and he proved it against Lennox that one fateful night....but as Lennox said..."He was only borrowing his title"....and we all know what happened later.
I think Rahman would've been layed out by a prime Holyfield....and if you get laid out by a natural Cruiserweight....you never had any potential.

erik morales killed himself too much to make weight........he had the frame to step up divisions quicker and maybe he wouldnt be shot now.....

[DA1CATAS]

Jermain Taylor and Zab Judah... Of Course.. Taylor is right on the edge .. Zab judah just needs to train man.


Might I even say Mike tyson.. Imagine him disciplined and well behaved.. no slack before the buster fight.. no drugs before the holyfield fight.. no police time..

Only reason I stated that was we've never seen Pac in there with a "slick-boxer"....I personally would've loved to see him "tune-up" against Bradley if he was to fight Mayweather....but hey....everyone has a dream....

Ike Ibeabuchi, destroyed a prime Byrd like no one ever has, beat Tua convincingly and had good power with an unreal workrate for a heavyweight and pretty fast to boot

He was in great shape, heavily muscled but didn't hinder his speed or stamina. Shame he went the way he did.
