    And that is exactly what i mean, he gets called out by a fighter he called out all the time and he is just silent as soon as Wlad called him out.

        Haye's defining moment in his career was beating Valuev. I think Haye is done after fighting Audley, i think he may even lose. To much inactivity and will to fight the best, haye is pretty much done in 2 more fights.

            Yeah his lack of activity is going to catch up with him soon, he had plenty of time to make a fight with someone like Vitali or Adamek in August then fight Harrison in december then Chageav march and Wlad in july-august.

              I don't think he wastes it.

              I think "he applies his talent sparingly" because his body started to fall apart a few years ago.

                nah i wouldn't

                tyson maybe because many thought he had potential to be the greatest heavyweight of all time but still when you look at what he accomplished he had a pretty great career

                bowe was also a great heavyweight and maybe if he didn't balloon in weight so much he may have a better chance of winning the fights he lost but either way he would've never got in the ring with Lennox because he knew he would've got beat

                he should've really lost the 3rd evander fight aswell

                guys like Kirk Laing would be an example of wasted talent not bowe or tyson imo

                  Bowe had the potential to be one of the greatest heavyweights and if he stayed out of the fridge he could of easily been one, do you really think that Lewis could of beaten Bowe at that time ?, Bowe would of mauled him.

                  Bowe's peak was 91/92 and he was a pretty much shot boxer by late 95, if that isn't wasted talent I don't know what is.

                    lewis beat him in the amateurs so yeah i do

                    bowe chose to dump his belt in a bin rather than have lewis take it i think that says alot

                    evander even said that he fought alot of guys that picked him instead of lewis because they thought he would be easier to beat

                    i think bowe like you say had potential to be a bit more than he was but not much imo he pretty much went as far as he could go

                    buster douglas would be an example of wasted talent definitely

                    he beats tyson the man people see as invincible then goes back to the mediocrity that plagued his career

                      Have you even seen the fight ?, the referee was completely one sided in Lewis' favour giving random warnings to Bowe for no reason and Bowe rocked Lewis more in the 1st round then the supposed KO punches Lewis gave Bowe in the 2nd. Bowe was ready to continue and the fight was stopped, it wasa disgrace for an Olympics final.

                      And you think that any boxer who beats someone in the Amateurs can beat someone in the Pro's ?


                      Yeah Douglas is another example of wasted talent , couldn't stay out the fridge either lol.
