good prospects who never panned out

Jorge Linares could be thrown in the mix.

Odlanier Solis is a total waste no doubt, super talented guy, but he himself stated many years ago that he never liked boxing and only did cause he was naturally good at it. In Cuba he was forced to train and it showed how good he could be in the 2004 Olympics. Unfortunately in the pros you can do whatever and he choose the lazy life over boxing.

Athletic.
Strong.
Glass Jaw.

Panchito Bojado. Wonder what happened to that guy. In the early 2000's he was getting a little hype and then after his first tough fight against some journeyman he just fell off.

Over the years there were a lot of prospects looking like the future of boxing but never reached their potential. My list would be, Victor Ortiz, Chris arreola, Andy Lee, Alfredo angulo(love the guy but he could never get over the hump) Andre dirrell, Edison Miranda, and Joel Julio(everyone including me was hyping him as the next great welterweight at 21, but it just never happened)

I was thinking Lacy too. Maybe Pavlik. Didnt do nething after beating Taylor.

Pavlik was the lineal mw champ...wtf??

[brickcityboxing]

David Reid ?

I was thinking Lacy too. Maybe Pavlik. Didnt do nething after beating Taylor.

He had a nice career. I don't think it could have gotten any better. Beat Miranda, Taylor 2x, Rubio, got beat up by Hopkins, fought Martinez in a competitive fight. It wasn't going to get any better, he was just gonna get beat by Ward if he fought him, and maybe the Williams fight would have been a barn burner but he did have those good fights with Zertuche, Taylor, Miranda, and Rubio.

His career panned out, but he ran it into the ground.
