I think Buster Douglas could fall into this category. He had great talent and potential but just couldn't capitalize.

I don't know about Johnson, his whole style was to take you as many rounds as possible until you were worn out, then stop you. Uniquely suited to that era. If he had taken more chances he would have had more losses.
