Which boxer had the most potnential to be great?

[Dynamite76]

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

Boom Boom Mancini was real good, but protected.The first fighter who could truly fight with boxing ability that he fought, beat him.

[Mr. Ryan]

Ikw Ibeabuchi is in my lifetime the biggest missed opportunity in boxing. He had the skill and power to KO Chris Byrd, he had the speed and chin to withstand all of Tua's bombs, and he was absolutely fearless. Problem was he was crazy. Spadafora, Meldrick Taylor, and Rid**** Bowe are also candidates. Whats good with Panchito Bojado?

[Derranged]

Ibeabuci, Corrie Sanders, Prince Naseem Hamed. Im not saying the "most" potential but it was pretty high.

He was one lazy fighter, in the ring. He had the size & talent, but no fire.
His fight with Tony Sibson was an atrocity.....dreary as hell.

Joe Calzaghe - i'm a fan, but i'm first to admit that he fights bums.
Hamed - This ones pretty obvious.
Meldrick Taylor - Damn, that fight with Chavez. If that fight hand't happened, he'd probably be recognized in the top ten of his weight class. If not that, then top 15.
Tyson - as far as i'm concerned, Tyson is not 'great'. He was 'good'. He looked to be 'great' when destroying bums, but he never beat any quality opposition - old larry holmes, trevor berbick. Lost to the best fighters he fought. Holyfield and Lewis. And lost to Buster Douglas - i'll grant Douglas was looking damn good that fight. He never reached his potential. Coulda been a top 5 heavyweight, maybe even top 3 - but it wasn't to be. =(

Jorge locomotora castro.He was the first to go to the cards with roy jones . He fought terry norris. He fought Jirov and he has a middle weight body. He was middle weight champ wba in 1994 . Remember that fight in mexico with david jackson. And apart for that he never trained.
