Biggest underachievers in boxing right now

Fragoment was like a thousand years old, and got blown up by Wlodarczyk in his next fight.

But I get it... still more legit than the dude Narvaez beat to get the WBO 115 title.

He is still the longest running champion in the world today, I believe he won the fly weight title in 02 and when he moved up to win a vacant title a couple months ago IDK if we count that as a title reign ended.

His inability to take a punch has hurt him so bad. He beat Montiel years ago. You know he could have easily won his fights with Nishioka, Penalosa, and Vazquez.

The Penalosa fight left such a bad taste in my mouth. Gonzalez put on a clinic, until Penalosa landed his first clear punch, and that was that.

That body punch was absolutely deadly though.

Chris John, for sure. He's an excellent boxer.

I'm not so sold... I've heard his win over Marquez is laughable, and his first fight with Juarez... underwhelming to say the least. It's ROCKY JUAREZ FFS.

He's no longer the WBO flyweight champion, Miranda is.

Nonita Donaire comes to mind.

That fight was bizarre to me, he said he was having real trouble making 118 yet came in at 116 and during the ring walk looked like a ghost. He also knocked Vazquez down twice before he fell twice to Vazquez in the 11th or 10th round I dont remember. Imagine if that was him versus Marquez, could of had Vazquez' future spot in the HoF.

Nonita Donaire comes to mind.

Though you could blame Arum or that, the way he mixes speed with power is amazing.

Rocky Juarez

Underachiever implies that you have talent that you have squandered and/or not lived up to.

Rocky Juarez isn't that talented at all.

Just a durable guy with a good left hook.

[Spray_resistant]

Nonita Donaire comes to mind.

That is true, other than Darch he has spent his career fighting tuneups up until now.

[Franco2012]

Joshua Clottey. That dude gets **** on for his performance against Pacquiao, but if he let his hands go more (and didn't lead with his head), Pacquiao would have been his first loss.

Joan Guzman. Talent for days.

Exactly Josh Clottey.

And they need to give Dzinziruk a chance in big fight like against Williams.

Dzinziruk is number 1 LMW in the world and idiots on boxrec got him on 20

Roman Gonzalez just popped into my head.

I know it's sill early in his career and he's young, but I feel he's lost some steam since he ran through Niida.

At least he's fighting in Japan in October, Teiken usually puts him in with good opponents.
