Troy browning and I never heard of him again.

Re: Confession Time
Just looked him up. Julio cesar Garcia.
Does anyone know what happened with him. Or was he simply not that good?
He went 6/5 after browning which it turns out was7 years ago. Wow time flies!!!

In the 80's I though Tommy Ayers of Cincinnati was a great champ in the making.

Re: Confession Time
Thinking about it, when I was younger I really thought Julio Cesar Borboa was gonna be a long-time champ.
Re: Confession Time
This is a good site to remind you how tough the pro game can be. I thought many of these fighters on this list would go onto be great-and many had disappointing pro careers

It is interesting to put the names in the boxrec search engine, you can find out that the US Olympic heavyweight rep in 1936 Arthur Oliver made his pro debut against the 40 bout veteran Buddy Baer who was 36-3 at the time-unsurprisingly KO'd. So not surprising he didnt fulfill his potential.
