Butch Collidge & Darnell Boone are always expected to lose, they get called on short notice & they don't even bother cutting weight anymore, because they will have to fight bigger guys. So they stay relevant at the gym when they can, at their walking weight. In these cases we get glimpses of their legendary greatness, when they decide to make a fight more interesting :smoke Darnell Boone confirmed his legendary status by knocking down the current Top 3 Light Heavyweights & that's how he will always be remembered...He can floor Top 10 P4P fighters above his weight class whenever he decides its proper :think Grady Brewer & Emanuel Burton also had greatness (without winning a title), but they were not as predatory as Darnell Boone, those uppercuts :toney
That has more to do with Stevenson being a glass jawed overrated chump than it does with Boone being some kind of world beater. He's lost to basically every decent fighter he's been put in the ring with. Perhaps you should look into Derek Edwards if you base your ATG standings on journeymen who land a lucky punch and KO a future champion.:good
Oh no, Adonis never was able to get up from the Boone, Andre Ward only Knockdown in his life, Sergey Kovalev downed & barely got an SD, Lennox Allen & Morgan Fitch were sparked with beautiful Uppercuts just like the Ward one, both got gift Draws. GGG last title challenger Monroe Jr, would have been undefeated if Darnell Boone didn't take his soul & undefeated record :deal Recognize who you are talking about; Its the Legend of Darnell Boone Nobody is denying that Darnell Boone is paid to come & lose. That is his role in boxing, until he decides its time to make history :smoke With all respect to Derek Edwards, he had a typical padded record of a taken care of prospect...lost the first big fight, then 6 losses & Badou Jack, not even close to Darnell Boone The flying Darnell Boone is no lucky punch :nono Darnell Boone did it to the best Andre Ward only KD in his life was (because of Darnell Boone) Adonis Stevenson is 27-1-0 (because of Darnell Boone) Sergey Kovalev lost his 100% Ko ratio (because of Darnell Boone) Sergey Kovalev down for the first time (because of Darnell Boone) Lennox Allen is 20-0-1 (because of Darnell Boone) Morgan Fitch is 16-0-1 (because of Darnell Boone) James Countryman is 14-1-0 (because of Darnell Boone) Ronalid Johnson is 11-1-0 (because of Darnell Boone) GGG last opponent only lost once (because of Darnell Boone) KO Artist James Johnson quit boxing (because of Darnell Boone) Lajuan Simon has 2 draws (because of Darnell Boone) Judges made extra $ SD, MD, UD (because of Darnell Boone)
how come nobody refers to boone as the ding-a-ling man anymore? lol u have to love boone...and I respect the heck out of him....but hes nuts if he ever said ggg knocks out ward...heck even ggg and his people don't even think they can win let alone knock him out.... ggg and kova like to fight and hit.....that's more of boones style...boone cant relate to a guy who fights like ward...that's why hed fancy ggg....
DARNell Wilson not DARNell Boone :think Ding A Ling man also an interesting Darnell, but he lacks Darnell Boone legendary sagas over Top 10 P4P fighters Darnell Wilson Ding A Ling man best wins: Prospects David Rodriguez Daniel Judah Former Champions Kelvin Davis Juan Carlos Gomez Contenders Dale Brown Emmanuel Nwodo
Right on, is this some kind of mystery? GGG walks through Boone. Also Bivol had to go though 7-8 guys to find an opponent this month and Boone was 1 of them, I guess he declined and Dmitry had to fight that Brazilian guy.
Again Boone is a paid record padder :deal Sometimes for whatever reason, possibly when he faces a ****y prospect who wants to send him into suspension (bad business for an active record padder), then it becomes fair game & in many times the prospect finds out he is in a real fight :think His Sagas over Andre Ward, Sergey Kovalev & Adonis Stevenson all P4P fighters on the top of 175 is enough to give him a chance vs Hagler or GGG as far as I am concerned. He takes fights to make a living, so obviously any random prospect with a generous manager will get a W over Boone that is no mystery Willie Monroe Junior If you look at GGG last title defense, he had one Loss & that L was the result of sharing the ring with Darnell Boone :smoke Give Darnell Boone a fair title fight, fair training & we will see him give GGG his hardest fight. You really fancy Khan vs Canelo winner chances vs a motivated Boone :bart
