    Steve Robinson. Not only did he get a world title shot against the odds and win, he also had a few defences aginsst supposed superior opponents.

    I guess you could say Hatton, I don't think anyone would have thought he could dominate at 140 for three or four years.

    Johnny Nelson is a good shout, lost basically all of his amateur fights and his first four pro fights.
