Who's your favorite underachieving fighter?

[warp1432]

Hey I have hope that he will bounce back.

Me too, but he needs to go back to his old ass style. Not the new one which he tries and goes forward. Doesn't work.

[-EX-]

Emmanuel Augustus, hands down.

Glenn Johnson is one also, who has recently gotten his dues.

What's so special about Augustus? Outside of his bizzare awkward boxing...lol

[MANGLER]

Augustus FTW. Dude got all the talent and charisma of a champion and a star but somehow never got past journeyman level.

Yeah, I don't know what happened to his style, he should've fought Darchinyan and Cermeno the same way he fought Muñoz, he looked brilliant there. I hope he win that rematch and get back on track.

BTW I've been watching fights of the guy in your avatar, and I'm becoming his fan, he's great.

Yeah apparently he's in a rematch september 12th. I hope he wins and then fights Moreno. Mijares I know is willing to go to japan, so that'd be a great unification for him. I think I'd pick Hasegawa to beat him. Hasegawa is sick and I like him just as much as Mijares.

Corrie Sanders.

Emmanuel Augustus.

are my top 2.

Cory Spinks was not an underachiever at all.
If anything he was an overachiever.

and Moorer was excellent at light heavyweight and pretty good heavyweight most of the time.

Sanders is a good choice. To me Vinnie Paz was one of the great overacheivers.

I still think James Toney was a massive underachiever, despite the fact he was still a great fighter. Throw Wilfred Benitez in there too.

[sylvestersweet]

Pavlik is a real underachiever, he's letting his promising career go in the crapper with his recent ducking of Abraham, the one fight that meant anything.

See what I don't get, is some people are picking guys that achieved and defended their titles quite a bit.

Aren't those achievements already?

If they never did it or did it and just blew it after maybe one go, wouldn't they then be underachievers?

I have to agree on that, if he would've stayed in shape, light heavyweight at most, he would've been way better, besides, too many robberies screwed him up.
