    Boxers with great ability but limitied "Heart"

    I was just watching a few Bruce Seldon fights, what a ****in jab! the man had size, speed, power, great reflexes and very good tecnique, and when the fight was going his way he looked like a ATG, but when the other fighter didnt give in and fought back Bruce fell apart. now mind you i am not criticizing someone with enough common sence to feel "hey **** this im about to get seriously hurt here!" and call it a day, but just watching them sometimes is fustrating because you know that if they just dug a little deeper they could pull it out. list fighters that you watch and say "damn thats too bad the heart doesnt match the skills"

            When Seldon was coming up I thought he was potentially the best young Heavyweight out there. All that was needed was some fights against top quality opposition to show if the potential could become a reality. Then Bruce folded like an accordian against Bowe and McCall and that's all she wrote.

              exactly! watching the Bowe fight you can see seldon had twice the ability but 1/8 the heart! what a waste of true talent

                    been a fan of cotto, and i know i will get **** for this,

                    I think Cotto needs to get the mentality that its either win, or go out on your shield.
