Who were some high risk little reward fighters?

Winky Wright & Vernon Forrest.

 

Charley Burley
Greb and Wills for Dempsey

 

Guillermo Rigondeaux
Joan Guzmán
Paul Williams
Anselmo Moreno

Pretty much all the Murderer’s Row fighters.

 

If I was managing a fighter we’d have never fought Rigo… he’d stink the joint out and my guy would probably lose or leave a bad impression if he did win… Troy Dorsey, Yuh-Myung Woo and Vince Phillips are fun picks, Manuel Medina is not… pretty much anyone who wasn’t a beatable “showman” I wouldn’t feed my hypothetical boxer to a Burley for example but I’d feed him to someone vulnerable like Graziano who’d at least make my fighter look credible with a loss, if a fighter has to lose at least make him look good going out.

 

Emanual Augustus, Junior Witter.

 

Augustus would make a fighter look bad and still lose the decision… not the highest risk lol decent reward if you could maul him.

 

Corrie Sanders, the South African southpaw.

Tim Witherspoon in the late 80's and early 90's after Don King had black listed him.

 

Ted Sanders maybe more than anyone ever. No one made any money fighting him, but he took Mickey Goodwin's unbeaten record, beat ranked Rocky Mosley Jr, "drew" with Superbad Mays and ruined his unbeaten record, then beat Alex Ramos half to death. In his last fight, he beat a guy named IW Johnson who was being pushed as a prospect too.

Betting none of these guys made five grand fighting him either.

 

Rafael Pineda. Guy was relatively unknown to most but was dangerous as hell

 

Jimmy Young
Chris Byrd
Earnie Terrell
Saoul Mamby
Emmanuel Augustus
Vilarmar Fernandez
A few off the top of my head. This group may not beat the best, but they could make them look bad.

 

Julio Cesar Vazquez

 

Edison Miranda comes to mind.

 

Good call on Jimmy Young

 

Mamby was a good call, Duran can't do much against him until he decides to pick it up in the late rounds with his smart boxing,imagine a 15 rounder trilogy between these two.
