    Of the list I would have to say Zab. If you look at all the people he lost too they were all very winnable fights for him.

    If he had a decent head on his shoulder and good training camps he could have easily of been undefeated. Its just amazing how at the elite level of all sports how much mental toughness plays in to being successful.

    Of all time though I think its Mike Tyson easily.

                Out of the guys on that list i would say Judah.
                Hes won 6 world titles in 5 weight classes, I wouldn't call that not testing yourself. Watch him at the lower weights he fought the best he could, its only 147 and above which people start blaming him.

                  Ike( The President) had it all: stamina, punching power, combos head movement, good chin and moved well. Such a waste of talent.

                  Tony Ayala Jr is another waste of talent but he is where he belongs.

                  Jose Luis Lopez threw away his boxing career, he was under-rated but a severe under achiever cause his bad habits and poor dedication

                  As achieved as James Toney is he could have done so much more if he was more diciplined, that goes also for Rid**** Bowe

                    I'd like to add Camacho Jr and Emmanuel Augustus. I feel that Cory T'Rex is in there somewhere too, as well as the other Corrie>

                      Looks like Henry Armstrong in his hey day. I'd like to add Johnny Tapia to the bunch as well as Camacho Senior. These guys all should be respected WEALTHY elder statesmen.
