Could have been?

He is arguably the greatest actor that has ever lived. I think it is fair to say he was a 'contender'.

Also, I think that Brando has done loads of incredible movies, and I wouldn't struggle to name 10 at all.

Viva Zapata!
Burn!
On The Waterfront
Streetcar Named Desire
The Godfather
Last Tango in Paris
The Men
The Wild One
Julius Ceasar
The Freshman
Guys and Dolls
Mutiny on the Bounty
Sayanora
Apocalypse Now!
A Dry White Season
The Missouri Breaks

Those right there are just off the top of my head. All sixteen are critically acclaimed films, not a single of them has gotten extensive negative reviews, Brando had the lead role in all but two, and in those he played a prominent supporting role, and this list spans almost 50 years. In fact, the only really 'bad' movies I can think of that he was in is Island of Doctor Moreau, One Eyed Jacks, and the Ugly American. All the others were either mediocre or good. Also, I would venture a guess that he was probably in about 28 movies. 16 of which are some of the most acclaimed movies of all time. I definitely think you are wrong when you say he had wasted talent.

EDIT:He starred in or had prominent supporting roles in 38 movies.

I also forgot to mention a few other great ones, and a few other bad ones. Don Juan Demarco and the Score are quite good movies, and The Formula and Free Money are quite bad. The remained of the films he did were little films which he in during the time where he wasn't very active in film. The Countess from Hong Kong, Teahouse of the August Moon, Candy, etc. These weren't reviewed bad at all either.
