Biggest duds who looked so promising

Yea

 

Dominick Guinn. All iron chin and questionable heart.

 

Meldrick Taylor

what a tragedy.

 

What about Mark Brelend? He was susposed to be the next great all time pound for pounder. He won a cupple of tittles but never became what a lot of people tthought he would be.

 

Milton 'Ice Man' McCrory....
Although i do have to give Milton some credit for beating Luis 'Fake-an-injury' Santana in 1985. Being a native San Diegan... i really hated what Luis Santana did to Terry Norris 2x!

 

and

He decisively defeated ( 8 rounds to 4) a 35 year old Campas. ( younger than Shane, Winky, Bernard, Tszyu, Joppy,Calzaghe, etc. when they were very competitive)



He's undefeated with a 76 % KO rate and his resume is still unfolding.

 

Not a dud either: A former title holder with 36-1 (31 KOs). Only loss: close fight with a prime great MAB.

 

How you had it is irrelevent. The judges had it 7-5, 8-4, and 9-3. I had it 8-4.

Fact is, until he loses, he cannot be considered a dud (no pun intended!)

 

Have some of you forgotten the topic..BIGGEST DUDS....WHO LOOKED SO PROMISING...

And you throw up names like Meldrick Taylor and Mark Breland..Yes they didnt fullfill their hype but DUDS???

COME ON PEOPLE..THINK BEFORE YOU ANSWER.

 

Precisely !

 

Mate that fight was not close,i cant remember the score,but he got schooled by Mab,i ****ing loved it,could not stand hamed,great fighter for sure,but came across like a complete ******* as a person IMO.

Also he did not come back from it,Mab knocked the heart out of him for ever,he made a real half hearted come back a bit later,but all the hype and **** talking had gone for good.

 

When I say how you had it is irrelevant, I meant that in the sense that he's still undefeated. It's the record book that determines whether or not someone has been defeated. In that sense, how I had it is in accordance with the actual result.

(I believe that Oscar should have gotten a clear decision over Tito, but since I wasn't a judge, my score is irrelevant in the sense that Oscar was NOT undefeated after the Trinidad fight.)

Re: Duddy: He's nothing special (so far), but in no sense has he proved to be a dud, at least not yet, regardless of what he MIGHT do in the future, and regardless his or my ethnic background.

 

Most of what you say is true. (The fight was closer than you remember). I'm not a fan. I won $20 on that night and I'll admit some glee in his defeat. He's a bit of an *******.

That said, he in no way fits the criteria of being a dud. He was a champion with an impressive record, and given the tens of thousands of pugilists toiling away these many decades, he's no worse than top 5 % of all boxers ever.

Hardly a dud.

Nice avatar!

 

Panchito Bojado

 

But he unified a division and was champ from 1995-2001, hardly a dud, wasted talent all the same
