Fighters who over came the worst starts

starts to career or starts to a fight...????

 

Early pac and the present day Pac are like two completly different people.

 

ahh well bhop lost his first fight and pac was actually stopped...both are legends now...

a lot more to talk about if you meant fight tho imo

 

lol beat me to it

 

Johnny Nelson lost 5 fights in the first 2 years of his career, then had another terrible 3 years where he lost 7, then he went 9 years and 21 straight victories....strange guy.

 

i think arguello lost by first round tko in his pro debut.

 

Freddie Pendleton probably takes the cake. Started his career 11-10-1, went on to win a belt and beat some damn good fighters.

Of current beltholders, I'd go with Cristobal Cruz, who went from crappy Mexican journeyman to a wild volume puncher who throws so much that nobody can seem to figure him out.

 

when calzaghe moved up in weight he had 2 pretty bad first rds, then went on to dominate. JJM against pac also.

 

sorry misread the question

 

Also Carlos baldimir. Was nothing but a club fighter. Then ended up making a bit of money for himself

 

pac, hopkins, margarito come to mind

 

Margarito was 15 when he turned pro, so it's not a surprise that he did bad

 

Hopkins lost his first pro fight as a light heavyweight.
