Boxing shooting stars

Brathwaite, just like Lacy, was exposed more than crashed imo. They never beat anyone. Hurd is a good example though. Seemed like a future star after the Lara fight then lost to the mediocre Williams and it got even uglier afterward.

 

Forrest was somewhat of a flying star. Beat Mosley twice, propulsing himself at the top of the boxing world only to immediately lose twice against Mayorga. Yeah, he remained a good fighter until he passed away but for a brief moment, he was seen as one of the best by many.

 

I was a big Forrest fan but he does kind of fit, a bit like Tarver it became obvious very soon that his highest point was more a reflection of how he matched up with the elite fighter

 

Juan Nazario had about four months of being relevant then was never heard of again.
