Who were the biggest under-achievers

[TheEvilSaint]

Mike Tyson and Andrew Golota. tyson was good but he couldve been one of the greatest HWs ever.

if golota kept his head straight, he wouldve beaten ruiz, byrd, bowe, grant, tyson, maybe brewster, and if he didnt crack under pressure, he wouldve beaten (or at least lasted longer) lewis. he couldve been a champion, but his time is gone.

Corrie sanders had more natural talent than most heavies, but it sounds like thats the only reason why he boxed.

Ricardo Williams is a shame. I live in cincy and worked with a guy who lives in his 'hood. Said that he put most of the signing bonus into the "dope game" as he put it. this was about 2-3 years ago, so we werent surprised.

audley harrison, what a waste, he should have left the BBC and just let frank warren deal with things

How about Golota, it seems when things are going well for him he implodes and screws himself, if the pressure wouldn't get to him he would have become champion one day IMO.

exactly. he had three CONSECUTIVE chances at three of the HW titles and went 0-2-1 in all three attempts even though he was perfectly capable of beating them all.
