Wasted Talent/Unfulfilled Potential......

[scap]

Michael Grant
David Tua
Alfonso Sanchez
Shea Neary
Augie Sanchez

Hey Sac what did Augie SAnchez do with his talent???? The guy had as bad a chin as Ive ever seen, have you seen his fight with John Michael Johnson...Im a bit confused what category he is in Sac...

Taken Away
Lamar Parks-undefeated middlewight who was set to face Gerald MCClellan-PArks got aids and MClellan got a blood clot-crazy timing.

Pissed it away...
Michael Nunn-even though the guy was a champion and a p4per for a while he could have been an all time great-there has never been a fighter with so much god given talent who just flat out hated the sport of prizefighting.

I guess you can kind of say Tyson in a way

I think you can put Tyson cause he never lived up to his potential and for a long time he was in trouble or in prison

Miguel Angel Gonzales was about 44-and 0 and fought Oscar to a very great fight, Oscar won, but Oscar was bruised as hell, many people thought Miguel beat Oscar, not I, he was being hailed as one of Mexicos future hall of famers, since then he stopped fighting as much and has about 5 losses, Dont remember

David Reid was a olympic Champ being hailed and nicknamed the American Dream,alot of talent, Problem was, he moved up too quick, When he fought Trinidad and got pounded, he was never the same, kind of like Meldrick Taylor vs Cesar Chavez but at a less sadder degree

Reid was not that good a professional.

Gonzalez managed no better than a draw against a used up Julio Cesar Chavez. His best win is probably his TKO win over Levander Johnson. He was decent, but never going to be great.

yeah bro exactly the way I see it, also because of Cus and all

So that puts them up in the unfulfilled potential category you posted

My opinion is way different cause i dont believe that Cus was a factor, I think he was always with the wrong crowd, at the wrong places and he didnt have the dedication, because he went to clubs too often, he was also very angry and extremely depressive

No, he had the potential to be decent not great. That is EXACTLY what he lived up to.

No, he had the potential to be decent not great. That is EXACTLY what he lived up to.

Now where gonna argue opinions cause ive heard everyone in the world call David Reid, the next big thing, people believed it, that is why he was nicknamed The American Dream before he even did anything at pro ranks, thats unfulfilled potential, david Reids name used to come out in boxing video games ,people put him in video games as a contender and he wasnt even a contender yet


Mexico has had many great fighters but Miguel Angel was supposed to be the next great thing with his great record, he fought Chavez evenly, he was a undefeated champ and in many peoples eyes, he beat Oscar, Oscar was given the worst bruising ive ever seen, but many people believed he had potential to be great, you are in opinion he was in potential just to be decent

It was bro, when Cus died nobody was there to tell Tyson all the **** he learned with CUs and he kept switching up trainers. If he would've stayed with what Cus thought him, the peek-a-boo defense, throwing combos with jabs, bob and weave he would've been known as one of the best right now.

Youre probably right cause Cus was like a father figure to Tyson,
Cus may have helped Tyson keep his mind on boxing and out of trouble. We dont know.


Ive always been in opinion,that people should be responsible for their actions but maybe Cus may have kept Tysons head on the right track. Tysons head went to hell once he met Don King or people like that. Hanging around Tyson for money
