Prime couple of examples

Prince Naz - was supposed to be World Champion all the way up to Light Middleweight and retire Unbeaten in more than 50 fights

Audley Harrison - claimed he was going to be the Undisputed Heavyweight Champion

Audley without a shadow of a doubt and he's still at it.

Naz was a world champion and did beat world class fighters but did not live up to his own hype, didn't he once say he'd win world titles in six weight classes and KO Oscar De La Hoya?

It was his promoter who said this, but Matthew Ellis, the first Billion Dollar athlete. Last seen lasting less than a minute with a 5 fight novice.

Jorge Luis Gonzales the big Cuban was going to beat Bowe, Lewis (in the pros) and take over the world. Didn't quite turn out that way.

alex arthur

claimed to be the next scottish legend after buchanan and watt.Was dubiously handed a alphabet title but still a major letdown. Gomez and cook,class fighters but hardly among the world elite who arthur claimed he would beat with ease

Who was that lad that Brendan Ingle was going on about 'better than Naz'

If i remember the lad had 1 fight , in South Africa for some reason, looked awful and scrapped a draw.

Last i heard he was inside for being a nasty piece of work

deadpan · Post by **deadpan** » 02 May 2009, 05:58

Tony Collins
Adrian Dodson

Ryan Rhodes is on standby. With Amir Khan.

Think it was Daniel Teasdale.

It wasn't Teasdale. Though that's a good shout in itself. Can't remember the dude's name, but he was shocking. His only Nazism was to stick his tongue out when he got caught. Which he did a lot.

teasdale certainly mouthed off in that paddy and the prince book.

admittedly he was only 14 at the time i think.

so he deserves a bit of slack.
