Who Made The Most Out Of The Least...

...damn....i was going to say marciano just to get suzie pissed but others got there first, plus he is a bit of an obvious choice.

 

surprised ruiz has'nt gotten a mention yet.

 

I see you've moved the goalposts here. You said he was "Number 1 FACT". He wasn't, he was three. I see you've now changed magazines from Ring to KO to cover yourself.

 

he was regarded as a pretty good amatuer with decent skills

 

Two guys that come to mind for me are Vito Antefuemo and Troy Dorsey.

 

Clinton Woods built an impressive little career, despite having poor stamina, little punching power and being a slow learner of tricks. However, by his late title reign, he was a wily veteran who was able to beat younger and more talented boxers.

 

good post...he was strong, a freak and Charley Goldman brought the diamond out of his rough cut

 

terry Marsch....retired unbeaten

 

Surprised noone said Hatton....

 

remember steve robinson.

antonio margarito could get a mention. he was elite for a bit after beating cotto.

 

Craig Bodzianowski.
Retired with a 31-4-1 record. World rated cruiserweight who only lost to "world" champions.
Robert Daniels for the title, James Warring and Alonzo Ratliff twice.
All this on a prosthetic leg.

 

what about Alan Minter

 

Chris Eubank - he has said on a number of occasions that he wasnt very good and didnt have an awful lot of talent, but he knew how make the most of it.

 

good call. had a close fight with all i think. a bit to literal but good call:yep


randall bailey: tall for the wieght, brutal power.......uhm :think

david banks: no amatuer fights at all, less than a years training and had the ability to outpoint ayala and embarress manfredo in his hometown. outpointed miranda almost every round before he was sent through the ropes....also he got up from the punch in less than

qawi: 5'5/5'6/5'7 depends on reports, T-Rex reach (yet had a banger of a jab),and a guy with no formal amatuer fights.

'hardrock' Green: just a bodybuilder who turned to boxing early. was 5'5 had a reach that was barely over 150 cm's and yet was able to beat some very good middlewieghts...gave olajide a madly tough fight.


audley harrison:think

 

Frank "The Animal" Fletcher & Rafael "Bazooka" Limon
