I'm going with Joel Julio and David Reid. Can't forget about Jeff Lacy.

If Juan Manuel Lopez loses again hes going to be one of the biggest busts. I thought he was going to be a monster.

I dont know how you can see him as a bust. He is already a two-division champ and possibly going for his 3rd next year.

Oh I'm not saying he's bad. What I'm saying is that if he loses to Salido again he's going to have trouble with durable fighters. Look what happened in the Mtagwa fight and Marquez was able to hurt him too. He's going to have to do some changes in the way he fights while hurt. Because in higher weight divisions he's got to stop relying on his chin or he's going to get hurt.

Yes, agree he needs to change his ways and be more patient but you still can't say he is a bust even if he is to lose again to the same fighter. Salido can take a punch period. Nobody had expectations for Juanma to be a 3 or 4 division champion early in his career. Champion yes, but multi I doubt. Maybe Juanma had those expectation. Maybe a bit over hyped is a good word to use but a Bust is hard for me to agree on.

David Tua and Shannon Briggs just quickly of the top of the dome, these dudes fell fast!

That’s a good list right there, I really can’t argue otherwise because all three were dubbed by many as heir apparent champions in the future and all fell by the wayside!
