    Ryan Rhodes is a goog example,he was supposed to be the next big thing in the uk then he went in way too early in his career against a very good fighter in Otis Grant then things went wrong from there.
    Henry Wharton and Mike Brodie deserve a mention too.

      Rhodes thought he was Hamed but didn`t have hamed`s reflex, speed nor power. Ryan had these skills just not as good as hamed. I think Rhodes' downfall was the ingle camp where every fighter was modeled off Hamed, it may have hindered Rhodes' career and prevented him establishing his own identity!

        Wrong,all of Ingles fighters were modelled off Herol Graham,Herol was the idol of the St Thomas gym they all wanted to be him

                      I honestly thought Alex was headed for world champion until the Ted Sanders affair.I feel him and Tony Ayala Jr could have made a nice matchup.
