Boxers that were never world class but made world class money

Butterbean made some decent money for a 4-round club fighter.

 

pavlik

 

Anthony Mundine.

 

Old Foreman

Kimbo could also be a debatable case.

 

first off Harrison is in the Lowest Class BY HIMSELF, these other fighters are leaps above him, and to suggest Cooper wasn't world class is plain stupid.

 

Andre Berto, Gatti, tommy Morrison,

Antonio Margarito.

 

Gerry Cooney made serious bucks for the Larry Holmes fight.

 

if cooney was around today he would be by far the number one contender

 

Would say both Cooper and Bruno world class in their day.Walker seemed to earn big money very quickly,but earned it because of his style,had some great fights.Dont think he thought he was world class,but might have been in with a good shout with todays cruiserweights.

 

World class by my definition is someone who breaks the top ten.

I think Harrison is a great shout but he did win the olympics so it's understandable. Even Ward hit the top ten after dropping neary.

I can't think of any less than fringe contender who made genuine top notch dollars.

 

Haters.

If its so ****ing easy, go do it yourself. Boxing, like all sports, is entertainment first. Put asses in the seats and you get paid. Be a purist with an inscrutable style and enjoy paltry paydays.

Look at Demspey. Underfed, under talented barroom fighter. Earned millions by proper marketing.

 

One that sticks out a mile:
