Biggest Heavyweight Flops!!!

joe bugner was a let down

 

Mike Williams
Michael Grant
Jorge Gonzalez
Audley Harrison

 

you win.how did i not get him

 

Boone Kirkman

David Bey

Melton Bowen

Bernado Mercado, to a degree

 

Bobick would never have troubled Ali,or any of the top fighters of the period. Did n't have the skills,and he was mis-managed. He had his first 20 odd fights against tomato cans,then fed to the lion that was Ken Norton.

 

Losing in one round to an aged Norton, then being stopped within the same time by a very green John Tate, does not bode well for Bobick developing into anything beyond ordinary. As already mentioned, he had average skills, a weak chin, and crap management. He was another Tommy Morrison, only probably worse.

Biggest Heavyweight flop = Riddick "Big Daddy" Bowe

 

During the early 70's as well a great contenders Like Foreman, Norton, Shavers and Lyle breaking through into contendership, Every month seemed to herald a new Heavyweight Dangerman to watch out for. such as:

Jeff Merritt
Ted Gullick
Walter Moore
Al Lewis
Dave Matthews
Jose Luis Garcia
Morris Jackson
Pedro Acosta
Boone Kirkman

Plus may others,
They didnt make it, but they certainly brightened up the 70's Heavy Landscape for a short while.

 

For a flop he sort of went the extra mile; beating Evander Holyfield 2 out of 3 times.

 

The holy trinity.

 

In the late '80s there was a fighter I saw that I was very impressed with. Weighed around 210, a chiseled frame, fast as lightning, good stamina, a sharp if not hard hitter. Looked great. Then, he disappeared from sight and resurfaced 5 years later having gained a ton of weight and looking like Leroy jones in physique and huffing and puffing his way through matches. A total disaster. His name was Eric 'The Whip' Curry and I thought he was going places. Does anyone know what happened to him that he disappeared for 5 years?
