Kell Brook has wasted years chasing the Khan fight, Hearn practically ended his career putting him in with Golovkin, after wasting years of his career fighting Jojo Dan, Kevin Bizier & Frankie Gavin. Looked to be the man after defeating Porter as a big underdog, now looks shot and fragile after going life & death with a male stripper!

Danny Garcia looked to be a star in the making after the Khan KO and then the Mattysse win. instead become known as the gift and cherry garcia, seems to be rinse and repeat for him at the moment, fight some washed up names or cans then put him in with someone decent and he loses. Pointless.

Leo Santa Cruz: In 5 years he has been favourite in every single fight he's been in with, despite holding the FW title for years he did not fight a single legitmate FW, everyone he fought was a guy moving up in weight or a journeyman or a name who was shot to peices. Refuses the trilogy with Frampton but rematches Mares again (why?)

Gary Russell Jnr: Gary 'i dont watch boxing' Russell Jnr has zero interest in actually having a good career/the sport. fights 1 bum per year for a payday. Whats the point?

Andrade deseves a mention too, since he got a SD agaisnt Vanes 7 years ago, his level of opposition has not increased & has arguiably got worse, his next fight is agaisnt Luke Keeler....the 3rd best Middleweight in Ireland!

Any others i have missed?

On that list Russell. He fights once a year and calls out everyone yet never fights.

good shout. I used to think he was pretty good & would be a big player @168 / 175. absolute massive, with an amazing gastank, never stops punching with a granite chin, now i look back at those fights with Hart where he went life & death and think he might be a bit crap now. The Vlasov win was good but that was ****ing 5 years ago now

Out of this list it’s Russell by a landslide

Personally I think Lomo’s career has been a waste so far because he’s only fought one real name and he was a guy moving up 2 divisions and is naturally smaller

GRJ to me. Danny has had his moments. LSC has had his. Even Kell got his moments in. Andrade I say is more overrated than has had a unfulfilling career. In fact I kinda see him as a overachiever already.

GRJ on the other hand seems talented enough to be capable of so much more but between losing to one of the best guys early in his progression + never getting active to a respectable level he seems like a guy who could have done so much more in the game than he has.

agreed. Seems like Gary lost his confidence once he lost his first fight. He has all the tools, however he needs to pick it up now.

Zurdo seems more like a overachiever than a unfulfilled career guy. I mean f#ck for some small window of time I think a solid number of cats had him #1 at 168. Hell 168 seems like overachiever central to me cuz now Callum is #1 to a solid number of fans & to me he's a guy waiting to cash out & get beat too.

Not sure its so much about 'confidence' more due to the fact he has no interest in the sport or his legacy and is extremely happy to collect his paycheck once per year from uncle Al, preferably agaisnt a mismatched opponent.

Pandas i would like to see Joe Smith vs Zurdo . That would be an all action fight for the WBO 175 STRAP!
