Sugar ''Money'' Mac's dumb ass trained on Proper Twelve for the biggest fight of his life against Floyd. If he'd even put 50% of the effort into training for that fight as Floyd did he would've 100% won and the most frustrating thing about that is everyone knows that too. He was pissing that fight while he still had air in his lungs
Cmon. Im surprised no one mentioned the most obvious one. DEONTAY WILDER. Hes gifted with great power, but his skilset is terrible. His footwork his terrible, his athletic ability and supreme power has bailed him out in fights where the superior boxer was kicking his ass.
I wouldn't go that far, but they had their tactics worked out and executed them against a strong, determined but limited operator. Step in the right direction, at least.
Nah, Gamboa had IQ, he wasn't a 135 fighter. 130 and below he had the juice but like most Carribean fighters his chin would get tapped and his brain would scramble.
Mike Jones. Could have been a belt holder if he had better ring iq. Should have never got knocked out by Bailey. Edison Miranda had almost non existent ring IQ but very talented fighter. David Haye had very poor ring IQ, if he can’t knock you out then he has no plan B.
