    Which boxer had the most potnential to be great?

    Im not going to put Mike Tyson on this list because he was great, he just wasn't the greatest that everyone thought he would become....

    I would have to go with either Boom Boom Mancini or David Tua

      Paul Spadafora easily.

      And I suppose someone is going to come in here and relay the same B.S.

      "He fought to a draw with Dorin and Dorin got KTFO by Gatti which means Spadafora sucks"

      NOPE.

        I think Ike Ibeabuchi could have been something, sure could use him nowadays in the HW division.

            Ibeabuchi, i agree is up there. I guess in some ways Naseem Hamed would be considered a fighter whom beat everyone untill running into a great fighter and losing, then he quits. What a waste!

                  Ibeabuch was as skilled as any HW I have ever seen, it is a shame.

                  Bowe was as skilled as any HW I have ver seen, it is a shame.

                  Michael Nunn could have been every bit as good as Roy Jones, if only he liked to fight.

                    HELL YES!

                    I was at Tua-Ibeabuchi, I went to see Tua, and left thinking that Ike was the next great heavyweight.... he was ranked WBC#2 before going to the can for raping one of Don King's Vegas Ho's during one of King's "scouting trips" to meet Ike....not to blame DK but the entire incident had shenanigans written all over it
