Meldrick Taylor could have achieved much more than he did. They say of such boxers: "He wasted his talent." It's hard not to agree that Taylor is one of the most wasted talents in boxing history. He could have been one of the greatest but ended up just an outstanding boxer. He had fast hands and good legs. He could box and move, avoiding almost all punches when he was in the right mood. He was never a big puncher, but he fought in many of his fights as if he were. He loved the battles. But two seconds separated Meldrick Taylor from being called the best boxer in the world regardless of weight class. Two seconds determined his future. This is the story of one of the most outstanding boxing talents of the 20th century, a little boy from Philadelphia, Meldrick Taylor, nicknamed "The Kid."

He Inspired Fear... but One Fight Changed Everything!
Samuel Peter, nicknamed the "Nigerian Nightmare," made his professional debut in the boxing ring in 2001. By 2005, he had competed in 24 matches, with 21 of them ending in his favor through early victories. Prior to facing #Klitschko , the Nigerian had not fought top heavyweight boxers, opting instead for opponents who were predominantly journeymen. After Wladimir Klitschko's sensational defeat to Lamon Brewster, the Ukrainian not only lost his championship title but was also deeply demoralized. Many fans turned away from him, and most experts wrote off his championship ambitions and prospects for a successful career. But Wladimir didn't retire; instead, he continued to fight.

In March 1996, Briggs had his chance to debut on HBO and earn his ticket to the big leagues. He stepped into the ring against the seemingly invincible Darroll Wilson, promising to come out swinging and end the fight quickly.
In a flash, Shannon Briggs, sporting the impressive moniker "The Cannon," caught the attention of all boxing fans. While Iron Mike was behind bars, Shannon was hailed as the next Tyson! With his exceptional punching power and towering height of 6 feet 4 inches, Briggs' opponents were dropping like flies one after another. By the end of 1995, Shannon Briggs had demolished all 25 of his opponents, with 20 victories by knockout, 15 of them not making it past the second round.
