    Meldrick Taylor. If he boxed Chavez he would have won 10 rounds and would not have gotten hit that much. His hand and foot speed was incredible. He should have never fought Philly style, sad to see him now.

        That was the problem. That Rappaport bastard didn't give a damn about anything but a quick payday. he got it and Cooney got the shaft.

          Strange how Dennis Rappaport was never heard of before and then disappeared from the boxing scene. Same with Victor Valle, not a trainer of champions.

            He is probably a top 30 HW of all time.
            Doesn't mean he wasn't an underachiever.

              Zab judah should have accomplished alot more.

              There are just too many
              Ricardo williams was another one around the same time a bojado.

                Yeah, but there really isn't like one Bowe fight were I could honestly say he underachieved.
                He won the fights he should have won.

                  He won the fights he should have won.
                  He was getting his ass kicked by golota...and with his size and skillset, he should have beat holyfield convincingly...and also for who he didn't fight, in lennox lewis.

                      Lol he could have easily cracked Top 10 if he gave even the tiniest bit of **** about boxing.
