For over-achievers, Marcos Maidana. Guy was a mess, technique-wise. Got dropped by Khan, went life-and-death with Soto-Karass, schooled by Devon Alexander. People overrate his Floyd fights, as if they were somehow victories. He mobbed the guy like an ape and was treated like the reincarnation of SRR. To his credit, his awkwardness was an asset there and he did have good conditioning. But, he went much further and got more credit than a guy with his skillset ever should have.
As far as talent that never reached it's potential, the obvious answer is Brian Sutherland. He stent his prime years fighting on the streets and was the victim of trickery and sabotage in his pro fights.
