Fighters Who Lost As Much As They Won

Augustus is an obvious modern example.

 

Gaétan Hart, Kirino Garcia, Michael Sprott

 

great thread, some of them are actually very talented

seldrick feilds who hold wins over briggs and a draw over al cole

marteze logan a very live spoiler who gave alot of undefeated prospect tough fights

anthony ivory who despite a losing record, has beaten and drawn with many talented fighters

darryl pickney has a losing record but beat both guty espadas and junior jones

luis lizarraga was a very game fighter who beat jermain feilds and tontcho tontchev

john brown needs no introction as the trail horse and is quoted as one of the toughest little guys in boxing.

 

antonio margarito could be on this

 

Edward Allen Hall, Alain Bonnamie

 

Heavyweight contender Jack Roper basically won about half of his fights. OF course, the other half also consisted of a fair number of draws as well.

 

Teddy 'Red Top' Davis, who had something like a 75-75 win-loss record. But he fought the best, beat alot of the good ones and fought Saddler for the world title, going the distance to boot.

Scartissue

 

atsch how? if he loses his next 25 fights????

 

Rudy Barro (fringe contender with some nice wins)
Arturo Leon (has a victory over Chacon, went the distance with Arguello in a title challenge, and wound up with a losing record)

 

Of the more modern fighters:

Kelvin Seabrooks (27-22); was a fine fighter, who was matched tough from day one.

Darryl Pinckney (24-42-3; but with 1-1-18 record to finish his career) was a hard punching 118lbs journeyman, who took you distance and found out the frauds.

Mo Harris (20-14); was a good sort, who could of benefited from better matchmaking.

David Jaco (24-25); could give anyone outside the very best competition.

Juluis Francis (23-24); If you were a prospect not at the top of your game, Juluis at his best could beat you.

 

sorry misread the the nature of the thread

 

Fred Pendleton turned in to a good fighter, despite having many losses. others are:
Sauol Mamby, Pablo Baez, Iran Barkley, Jesse Ferguson, Andy Ganigan, Bernardo Prada.

 

And he was stopped or knocked out some 14 times!

I think when evaluating these matters one has to take the character of the losses into account. There are tough fighters who lost close decisions and drew a lot, and then there were fighters who went to sleep or lay helpless on the ropes a lot.

Any fighter who loses a quarter or more of their fights when many of these losses are to inferior opposition or inside the distance has a problem.
