Any fighters come to mind when you hear the term "unfulfilled potential"?

    What about "The President"? Does anyone remember?

    He went to prison and beat tua...

    Mickey Garcia is running out of time, he is also going straight to super-lightweight, that is big boy territory.

      Very disappointed in Ibeabuchi. Showed great versatility in the different ways he fought Tua and Byrd. Looked like the real deal; although I do remember hearing a story of how he was KO'ed cold in the gym during sparring once.

      I've given up on Garcia. Always thought he was kinda overrated anyway TBH.

        That TR fallout still has him on the shelf, huh?

        Has it been two years yet?

        Last I seen him he was prepping MM for Floyd.

          I don't even know. I kinda feel like he has a suspect chin. Can't imagine it'll be better with a layoff and a move up in weight.

            Yea. I agree. Liked his skill set, but that time off hasn't helped him at all. Then when he does get back in there, it'll be a while before he's fighting the top tier guys.

              Guzman vs Pacquiao would have been sick.

                You got it, I think he had the goods, until he went to prison.

                I wonder who KOd him in sparring and if it is even true?

                It feels like it's been longer, either way I don't think there is even a fight in the horizon for him.

                  I believe it was Kirk Johnson who was rumoured to have flattened him. Johnson was a pretty decent fighter until he ballooned into a fat whale before fighting Vitaly.

                    I was hyped to see this fight back then. It would've been great.
