    Named the best/worst Spoilers.........


    Pernell Whitaker probably the best fighter ive ever seen at frustrating the opponent, not that he! was a spoiler,he just made most people fight the fight he wanted to fight.

    Hector Camacho
    Vilomar Fernandez
    Jimmy Young

    Other suggestions?

    Marcos Geraldo gave Hagler a miserable time, and SRL his toughest fight before Montreal. (Hagler-Geraldo is on youtube if you want to check it out. Ignore the dive he took against Hearns.)

    Two from the 80s/90s

    Manning Galloway and Mike 'The Bounty' Hunter.

    Indeed, Galloway was nicknamed 'The Spoiler'!

    Did he take a lot of dive/did he give up a lot?

    Seemed like a lot of losses for someone who debatably beat a prime Hagler.

    not a bad pick at all:good the eastman fight, despite not being an all time great opponent, showed that pretty well. he takes away your tools, does enough to win and doesn't look pretty doing so

    i've heard people refer to sven ottke as a spoiler. i prefer to call him a douchebag

    Loughran was a cutie, who could look very nice boxing. He fought too beautifully to be a spoiler.

    True..spoilers tend to have somewhat ugly styles.
