    Frankie Gomez. He was looking like a very promising prospect. Since December 3rd, 2011 he's only fought 4 times. He did a stint in jail during that time. He's only 22 so he still has time to turn his career around, but I think he'll probably end up being a waste of talent. It's easy to get caught up in all kinds of s**t in East Los.

      Spadafora and Ike are classic examples.

      Excellent choice. 2011 was a big year for him, I remember debating with a friend, who is Mexican, who was better between him or Joseph Benavidez. Both young prospects. Gomez has really vanished.

          Prince accomplished a lot in his career, and was 28 when he left the sport. Not quite what I'm think when I say "promising". He was an accomplished star by that point. I'm thinking more along the lines of younger fighters who showed promise and then just vanished.

                  Probably Ike ibeauchi. No doubt he would have crushed a Klitschko back in 1999 if they ever fought and probably would have changed the face of heavyweight boxing as we know it today.
