    Fighters that were the absolute opposite of fighters with massive amounts of determination like Marciano, Chacon and Morales, Pacquaio, so on and so forth.

    Basically, fighters without that essential fire and willpower.

    Most of the 80's HW, the Lost Generation.

    Kendall Holt. Ugh, ****ing guy.

    Tyson at times of his career.

    Andrew Golota.

    Zab Judah.

    jermaine taylor. the only time he ever looked truely fired up was when he put pavlik on ***** street in the 2nd round of their first bout. apart from that he looks gunshy and lacks any sort of urgency or intensity.

    Hugo Corro.

    the way he meekly stopped fighting in the late rounds against Vito and surrendered his title was shameful.

    Tony Tucker comes to mind. Pity because he was physically quite talented.

    The Camachos - like father, like son.


    Marlon Starling, perhaps? Very technically skilled, had a few impressive wins (namely vs. Breland and Honeygan), but often allowed himself to be outboxed/outhustled in important fights.

    Isn't that more of a style thing though? I thought Camacho was quite feisty even though he was an elusive, feather fisted type fighter.
