Fighters who proved their critics dead wrong.

Jim Braddock.

 

ricardo mayorga vs vernon forrest

 

Cotto vs Yuri Foreman......Critics had Cotto's career dead & buried leading up to the fight.

 

Tommy Hearns beating Leonard in th erematch but getting the drawn decision. Everyone including Leonard said Tommy was washed up & finished. How wrong they were.

 

buster douglas KO Mike Tyson was huge.

 

Andre ward doing this well in the super 6. Bring it back to oakland!

 

Leonard over Hagler

 

\\

totally agree on this one!

 

Calzage vs Lacy
Wlad vs Peter 1
Vitali............

 

vic darchynian and i personally thought ricky hatton was to green for kostya

 

How about khan vs maidana, all the haters predicted a glass
jaw khan to be ko'd by the hardest hitter in
the division but he went on win a fight of
the year and took massive bombs doing
it. Like round 10 he got wobbled with 2 minutes left in the round and
weathered maidans vicious onslaught not
only to
see out the round but to bounce back and win r11 and
12

 

Hopkins in virtually every fight he's recently been in.
Manny Pacquiao in beating Oscar and Hatton.
Floyd in beating Mosley the way he did.
Vitali in coming back like a warrior against Lennox.
Hagler in beating Hearns.
Whitaker in outboxing Chavez.
Calzaghe in destroying Lacy.

Just a few.

 

Holyfield without a DOUBT. When he fought Tyson the first time you actually saw commentary saying he was at riisk of serious physical harm, and that it was a cynical exploitation of the fans to even allow the fight, as Holly had NO chance.

And what happened? A fluke win for Holly? Nope. He systematically took Tyson apart, and was CLEARLY the better fighter.

 

Wow, no mention of Tim Bradley??

A lot of critics come out everytime he has a fight lined up. Bradley has always proven them wrong.

 

Can't believe no one has mentioned Froch put on a master class boxing lesson against AA when everyone said he was a caveman who couldn't box.
