This thread is aimed at identifying fighters who've had ample and/or "choice" opportunities in boxing, only to WASTE them (for whatever reason). Those we deem worthy will be banished to the The Land of Wasted Opportunities (T.L.O.W.O.). We shall poll, and when confirmed, we'll give them addresses as well (ex: 233 Lazy As Hell Dr., Won't Run, TLOWO). **NOTE** Addresses should highlight the primary reason(s) why they are there.

Who's in (Cshel....)???

edwin valero

Ooooooooo.....while it may be "taboo" for some to speak about the deceased, WE in the FH Community, however, DO NOT...I REPEAT..DO NOT DISCRIMINATE!!!!

Good one, MG.... fancy an address for the Late Valero?

define address lol

Ike Ibeabuchi - Went to prison for raping/kidnapping a Women

Zab Judah- Allowing pride to destroy his prime ex. vs Kostya Tszyu

Joan Guzman - Laziness and coming in overweight in his fights of the weight limit

Chris Arreola - Laziness and coming in overweight

Prince Nasim -retiring over his first loss against a legend nuff fuckin said

David Haye - self explanatory

ah right

valero- killing wife

Einstein....very good entries....though I'd have to challenge you on Arreola, as he hasn't squandered multiple opportunities, much less the majority of his career. Excellent Prince Naseem entry.

Let's see addresses (the street they live on and the province of TLOWO):

Ike: 2984 Elizabeth Smart Ave., Bound & Gagged, TLOWO

Zab Judah: 3659 Head Case Ln., Ignorant, TLOWO

Joan Guzman: 4481 Cupcake Blvd., Push-away-from-the-table, TLOWO

Prince Naseem: 1212 "Takin-my-shit-and-I'm-out" Circle, Not-taking-another-asswhipping, TLOWO

David Haye: 5568 "I got 15M dollars" Ave., Can't-believe-you-MF'rs-believed me, TLOWO

Ha! Funny addresses. My nominees are:

Samuel Peter: 890 No Ring Intelligence Rd., Too Stubborn To Learn, TLOWO

Edison Miranda: 891 Too Much Bravado St., Also Too Stubborn To Learn, TLOWO

Sam "Salt" Peter....great call!!!!

Still ain't easy bein'...well, you know.

There's a reason that cheddar's a synonym for cash. Cheddar all day!!!

I chose 3 of these guys, but officially picked Michael Katsidis. Dude is exciting to watch, but he always comes up short in his biggest fights. He is slowly but surely becoming "an opponent" rather than a boxing star.

Michael Katsidis: 1126 Sacrificial Boxing Lamb Blvd, Austrailian Pinata, TLOWO

My second choice was Zab Judah, smh. Though he was undisputed at one point, he never truly recovered (mentally) from the Kostya Tszyu KO. He came up short against guys like Spinks (once), FMJ, Clottey, Cotto, Khan, BALDOMIR, and almost got stopped by Matthysse.

Zab Judah: 0723 Mental Midget Ct., Brooklyn Letdown, TLOWO

My last choice is Kermit Cintron, smh. Boy, boy, boy, has he made himself such an easy choice, and with great reason. This guy has had opportunity on top of opportunity to shine in big fights, and thats AFTER he his previous bout. I mean damn, he fought Martinez a while back, then lost to Margarito twice, did a stunt against P. Willy, lost to Molina after he had us thinking he was gonna take it away, then he lost to a nobody on FNF a month or two afterwards.

He only scored that upset against Angulo. Sad thing is, he getting yet ANOTHER big opportunity next weekend against Alvarez. I will be sure to revisit this thread to confirm his induction into TLOWO.

Kermit Cintron: Frequent Game-blower blvd, obliviously blows opportunities, TLOWO

Lmao....

Peter and Miranda living across from one another....lls..

Audley "Olympic Gold medalist - I almost ruined UK boxing" Harrison

This dude brought back a lot of buzz to the game when he got his medal. Got a £1mil deal from the BBC then proceeded to fight a ton of cab drivers and STILL look terrible and boring. Then after the fight tell us he was still working on things, even though he was older than most in the division outside of Vitalli?! He single handedly got boxing removed from UK TV (again!) till Khan came along...

The TV deal and hype he had, THAT was a wasted opportunity in my eyes. Dude epitomised "big for nothing"...

Leave you guys to make an address if he gets into TLOWO

I think that he definitely gets into TLOWO. Physically has all the attributes (all he had to do was copy Lennox Lewis' style, not even try to develop his own and he would've been much less of an embarassment), but I guess as the saying goes, all brawn, no brain...

Man I gotta add Breidis Prescott on here! Dude totally blew it last Saturday He was beating the hell outta Alvarado for the first few rounds, then he gassed the fuck out! He had the lead, and does he do? He decides to make it a phone booth fight, and got the worst of it.

Alvarado had Prescott's head snapping back like a pez dispenser and Im pretty sure didn't remember is last name after he ate a couple of those hellacious uppercuts. I give Prescott a few more good fights to blow before he officially land in TLOWO. He can stop riding off of that Khan KO victory of his...

Breidis Prescott: 1112 Uppercut Magnet Ave, Gas-out King, TLOWO.

Yeah definitely, for that fight, definitely.

Oh yeah, did anyone mention Enzo "I fight like I hate myself" Maccarinelli?

This guy was on sum dirty KO streak and riding the welsh coat-tails of Calzaghe hard... Got to the point where him and his padded undefeated record was on TV doing pseudo-scientific demos about how his punch has the impact of a transit van and shit... (seriously, I saw that).

He calls out Haye, who was tryna leave the cruiserweight div and bait Wlad out at HW. After much media bluster from Enzo and his people, the fight gets made... Dude get KO'd in the most comical way ever, stanky leg dance and all-sorts. He's been getting slumped off ever since, and KEEPS going.. BTW, he's fighting tonight, here we go again...

The name that sticks out to me the most is Super Judah. Ive still never really seen anyone with the type of footwork he posses. His speed alone should be enough for him to dominate almost anyone he fought. But Zab really has always been his worse enemy.

Soooo...are we giving Cintron at least a puncher's chance this weekend, or have some of you already starting planning his induction ceremony into TLOWO?

not to mention he was up against mCcloskey after he broke Mccloskey nose to shits...But like mentioned he stopped using his reach and jab! and as usual after the fifth he gased out!

agreed, with zab its so tough cause he did become undisputed at 147 something not alot of people have done as a matter of fact, he was the last one to do and probably will be for a while seeing how active Floyd is now!

is just out of that list he has the most tools and should have done so much more like beating baldomir never getting caught and doing the chicken dance but oh well it happens

Valero had serious power and carried a big sack in the ring, wouldve been a problem for anyone regardless of him having his chin in the air. And to add someone to that list, Bojado was a complete waste.

That McCloskey fight was supposed to give him the edge over Khan, since he didn't really do much damage before the cut occurred. What a waste....

bojado was hype kind of like a rocky juarez! Like overall good fighters like good speed, feet work, built etc but they were never great in one or two areas which is why I was not surprised he tanked like juarez did.

I voted for Joshua Clottey. Seeing him play the role of walking heavy bag for Pacquiao made me sick...hope he enjoyed that bonus check for "a job well done"...I dont care to see him get another title shot.

Just watched Cotto vs Judah again The Land of Fuckin' Wasted Opportunities man! I know he was coming off of a year-long suspension after the Mayweather riot in April '06, but damn...He just refused to let his hands go until he was getting hurt, and thats what baffled me He was getting the best of Cotto at some points, but he didn't make the most of it.

Mmmm... I think its safe to go ahead and induct Kermit Cintron and Peter Manfredo into T.W.O.L.O. Both have proven or put the finishing touches on their life-long journey to being stepping stones for upcoming fighters.

Manfredo may as well give it up and go back to cleaning up/setting up ice skating rinks, and Cintron should just enjoy the festivities of getting knocked around the ring for $100k or less until he fully realizes that he wasted SEVERAL opportunities.

Bumped...

And the new inductee...Jorge Barrios
