    Fighters that had a lot of losses but still remained threats. Who that be?

    Jesse Furguson maybe but he was never on the level of Pendelton or Drayton. His only big upset was over Mercer but he was hell for just about anyone except Tyson and Bowe. Still he gave Carl Williams a very hard fight and he could present one problem or another for just about any heavyweight.

    Freddie Pendleton could really crack with that righthand-one punchpower.

    breaking floyds nose
    was a top 15 contender for 3 years on and off.
    a fight of the year against micky ward
    destroying herman ngodujo in the 12th round

    he was a threat what ever way you cut it.
