    Damn, y'all named some good ones. Some others outside of the ones named are probably:

    Buster Douglas after beating Tyson
    Broner
    Zab Judah
    Gamboa
    Rigo
    Edwin Valero
    Audley Harrison (ehh?...)
    Andrew Golota
    Andre Dirrell
    Joan Guzman
    Tony Ayala
    Hector Camacho Sr
    Oliver McCall
    Howard Davis Jr.

      Salido happened. This is what separates good and great fighters. Great fighters overcome adversaries. Good fighters only look good to an extent until they meet someone that can make them look bad and cannot overcome. Lopez is a latter

        Buster Douglas a wasted talent? What talent did he waste? He’s more like a one shot wonder and overachiever.

            More recently, I wouldn't have minded seeing how good Frankie "Pitbull" Gomez could have been.

              Unified heavyweight, lineal, beat everybody for the throne BY THE TIME HE HIT 21 AND BY BEATING LEGIT THREATS, NOT TAKING VACANT TRINKETS OR FIGHTING TRANSITIONAL PAPER CHAMPIONS (that's for the salty mofos).

              ALL of you should be ashamed for not having Terence MF'n Crawford at the top of your lists.

                  I'm sayin - I covered this in one of my P4P threads.

                  Tyson hit greatness BY THE AGE OF 21.

                  Crawford's already into his 30's and ain't done a damn thing but take vacant lineals and unify against paper champions before tossing low blows and getting wobbled.

                    Buster had all the tools.

                    6'4” and athletic, coached from childhood by his father who was an ex pro, Buster lacked desire, not ability.

                      I've noticed more recently you have a special hate for Bud but once again I am tending to agree with you on this one Lol
