As a fan of a lot of these fighters, it pains my heart to feel this way about them. Jorge linares out of everyone on the list and possibly Victor Ortiz and i have very little hope for juan diaz to be able to salvage their careers,with the help of the right trainers and handlers,plus they have the help of father time on their hands,but the rest like juarez and judah unfortunately dont have the luxury of being young,whatever they were gonna do with careers' would've been done by now. I feel like im leaving out others,my mind slips me.
    BOJADO................. that is a good one to point out. dude was hyped so much by everyone, it made me not like him, and then when he fell off, not one of my friends or one of his fans said **** and never talked about him again........

        I wouldn't say they were flops... But, I thought they really had potential to do something big but there careers was cut short cuz of going to jail. Harry Simon and Ike Ibeabuchi... Tony Ayala Jr is also on the same boat but he was before my time...

          Maybe not flopped but I thought more of Ortiz before he quit against Maidana

              young guys with only 1 (legit) loss shouldnt be included. they still got time to make something out of their career.
              linares, ortiz and andy lee still have time to make smth out of their careers.

              i was one of the many who thought linares was like the perfect fighter, but he was too good to be true. his chin's a fatal flaw. im hoping it was just a matter of him being caught cold. has anybody else seen any hints of his chin being that bad?

                    true i was gonna hold off on putting them in my list but something tells me they're damaged goods now.oh yeah, what about arcelino frietas? u consider him a flop? i would almost feel like calling hamed a flop but cant overlook what he did for the lighter wieghts,i can definately call brian viloria a flop,what u think?
