Losing fighters who always get the big fights

Definitely Juarez and Judah....but the thing about Juarez is, he's usually not even competitive and he some how still gets title shot after title shot.

 

Or exciting.

Golota had 4 title shots

and honestly earned 3of them

1. Lewis after 2 fights with Bowe, no question about it

2. Byrd, this one was a lucky strike I agree

3. Ruiz right after draw with title fight against Byrd, whom many believe he had beaten

4. Brewster right after title fight against Ruiz which he clearly won

this was robbery of this decade, 2knockdowns, 1point deducted, more power and all shots during the fight

so this its lie that he didnt deserve those title shots

besides he is/was entertaining and that also one thing boxing is about

 

That Ruiz fight was certainly a robbery, was really sickening. It was such a cathartic feeling watching Ruiz eat those nasty shots from Golota and go down. Was that fight Stoney was ejected from?

 

Judah
De la Hoya
Hopkins
Mosley
Mayorga
Trinidad
Juarez
Jose Navarro

 

Ruiz for sure.

 

Good post, but I guess the counter point that would be that Golota got the shot with Lewis after losing two fights to Bowe. (I know they were DQ's, but they were still losses.) Then later he fought three title fights in a row without winning either of them. The thread title is "losing fighters who always get big fights", so I guess that Andrew fits in as well as anybody. Nothing against Golota, and I certainly don't blame him for taking those fights.

 

I think Judah is a dead cert

 

Rocky Juarez.

 

Talking of big "money" fights . . . nobody beats DLH. Now big fights as in . . . crack at a title or fighting big names . . . Judah.
