Fighters who squandered their talent due to lifestyle or lack of discipline?

Also, Mitch Green. Per Tim Witherspoon;

"He got frustrated because people were getting there chances before him but if he'd have stayed disciplined a lot of heavyweights would have been in trouble...he was a devastating puncher".

Mike Tyson. Rid**** bowe .

Both great fighters , not saying otherwise but tyson had the potential to go down parallel to ali in all time conversation , but it wasnt meant to be . And rid**** bowe apparently had a fridge in his bedroom lol , he fell off so fast . These two underachieved , which sounds crazy with their accomplishments especially tyson but it's true .

Out of current guys , off the top of my head : gervonta davis ( obviously ) , andy ruiz , errol Spence. 2 of these 3 ( Spence and Davis) have the potential to be great fighters , they are well on their way. But Spence seems to be out drinking lots ( allegedly ), and davis seems destined to ruin his career. Spence I think will be just fine , but I do believe his lifestyle will cut his prime short , and that would be a shame .

Mike Tyson, Pavlik, Broner, Judah, all good mentions. Ill say an Aussie guy most on here see as a joke- Anthony Mundine. Turned pro at 25 with a very limited amateur background, wasted his prime years fighting nobodies in Australia because he was such a drawcard there he could cash in against whoever. The guy had pretty exceptional speed, mobility and reflexes as well as a solid boxing brain and decent pop.

[Real King Kong]

Ricardo Williams and panchito bojado come to mind. These guys were talented and hyped, but both imploded.

Neon Leon Spinks

[Earl-Hickey]

Tyson Fury

Wasted 3 years of his prime where he could have had 6-7 fights making mega money and being undisputed

Spadafora is a great example. Picked up a couple of name wins, rumored he was beating mayweather jr up in sparring, definitely on the brink of a big payday fight, turns into a junkie and shoots his girlfriend.

Tyson didn't squander his talent - he actually milked his talent very nicely when the public noticed his ridiculous voice/personality. Knocking out relatively easy opponents got him to big paydays. He squandered the money itself after making it but not his talent.

Pacquaio??? lol. Going from living in a cardboard box and selling stolen cigarettes to one of the most highly paid athletes of all time and royalty in your home country is squandering your talent?

Panchito Bojado. Ricardo Williams.
