I won't choose anybody that became a champ or defended a belt a few times, because in the grand scheme of things, if you reach that level of the sport, most would say you've had a decent/good career. Especially when you consider the amount of journeymen, fringe contenders, cans, etc..that exist.
So with that said.....
Ike Ibeabuchi - those Tua and Bryd wins were pretty good. Would have loved to see how far his career could have went after that.
Rocky Juarez- dude made some good entertaining/competitive fights but lacked that extra push to get over the hump whether inner or exterior forces I wish he could have gotten the decision in the 1st MAB fight. His career needed that one great moment. He used to piss me the fukk off when he didn't let his hands go,
, but I always liked watching him regardless because I figured one day he'd pull through but alas it never happened. In a sense Rocky Juarez is the type of boxer that truly represents the epitome of stanning. A borderline B level guy that is always competitive, but hovers around the brink of defeat or sudden success. He keeps you interested because one day you'll think he'll pull it all together or get the benefit of the doubt. He prolly has the career Zab, Broner and Glen Johnson had if they never won titles. I watched his career from the very beginning when he was sharing cards with Baby Bull and....
Franciso Panchito Bojado - this nikka was too damn talented to not have a decent career or at least work his way into grabbing a vacant title. Crazy how boxing works. The most talented out of the trio went the shortest distance within the sport. Juan Diaz was always looked as the lesser one and ended up having the best career.
James Kirkland - he never got that shot at the elites when he was in his prime and on his run. nikka ruined/stopped Angulo before it became the cool thing to do. He deserved his shot then it never happened. Years later he got his final shot against Tapia and was brought into lose and he ruined another nikka. He deserved a shot then, but it never happened. I feel like his nature and boxing politics robbed us of seeing a prime Wolfe trained Kirkland fight a division elite for a title.
..I was a Paul Williams stan when he was fighting..I remember telling nikkas that nobody wanted smoke with him from 147-168..My dawg
