I'm just going to state some wastes of talent and you can agree or disagree or add your own in if you want too. They are wastes for different reasons, and on different levels. and they are in no order.
1. Tommy Morrison 6' 2" 230lbs
Tommy Morrison was a tough, big, good looking white kid from the states. He was a pretty smart guy and an entertaining fighter. He actually won a couple of alphabet straps so his career wasn't a total waste. Tommy's main problem was a very bad chin, he got put down a lot and ko'd a fair few times. He was the kind of fighter who you know is going to get ko'd during their time in boxing and you just have to get over that.
Sadly Tommy had his carreer cut short when he was told he had HIV. It seems now that tommy never had HIV and it was all a mistake which is a shame, but I am just glad that he is alright, there is more to life than boxing after all. It seemed like Tommy was going to make a comeback, but for one reason or another it never really happened.
It's a shame because Tommy Morrison would have been in his mid 30's when Wlad and Vitali first came to prominence. Young Wlad vs Tommy Morrison would have been a great heavyweight fight but it never happened due to doctors mistakes.
2. Audley Harrison 6' 5" 250lbs
Oh dear. What the hell happened here? Audley Harrison won the olympic boxing gold medal in 2000. He was unsurprisingly Hyped to high heaven. But sadly Audley so far just doesn't seem to have what it takes as a pro boxer. He at times seems scared to get hit and this is a huge problem. Audley has good size, power and skills, and he showed against Danny Williams in a rematch that he could be devestating if he fought with passion and desire. He also has a questionable chin after he was knocked out by Sprott. Harrison is going to fight in Prizefighter and if he wins, and wins well, he may still have time to achieve something as a professional. but its a BIG if.
