      Malignaggi with a punch could have been a beast.

            Odlanier Solis and Herol Graham have already been mentioned and they both sprang to mind. I would have liked Otis Grant to have had more success as well.

              I don't know if he could have been a "great" but Jose Luis "maestrito" Lopez definitely had a lot of potential.

                Out of Detroit Kady King and Marlon Thomas could have been great. Both were excellent fighters out of Kronk. Kady had great skills and a personalitie that would have filled seats, so did Marlon. Out of the many many people that I threw fists with Marlon Thomas was the most naturaly gifted of them all..........Rockin'

                  He would have been 'The' beast.

                  People disrespect Malignaggi for not having much power. That being said it was incredible what he was able to do with pure skill alone........Rockin'

                    Had Rid**** Bowe stayed in shape and not blatantly avoided Lennox, he would have beent he best HW of the 90's era hands down.

                    Other then him, Zab Judah. He had all the tools, still had a solid/good career, but he could have been great. He just folds in most of his biggest fights, but one of the most talented fighters in recent memory.

                    Another is Odlanier Solis. Had he not gained all that weight, and only put on like 10-15 lbs after the Olympics, and stayed in shape, he had all the tools to be a dominant fighter at HW.

                    Linares is one of the most talented I've seen in awhile, and I still have hope he may bounce back, but the Thompson loss shook me.

                    Obviously guys like Khan, Ortiz, and Berto, but they still have time on their side to bounce back.
