    The Trinidad one sticks out for me but if I'm not mistaken Trinidad got dropped, Kevin could punch though. He had no chance of winning right enough.

    Robin Reid vs Ottke.

    Aye, technically Robin could win as he was more than good enough but he was never winning THAT fight in Germany.

    Barker was winning at the midway point, was a very competitive fight till the last 2 rounds. A fight with the best in division against one of best in division, had every right to be in there.

    I had more hope for Rhodes than Matthew Hatton

    Jennings vs Cotto was the first one that sprang to my mind. That and Lockett against Pavlik.

    Paul Smith.

    Lost everytime he fought a genuine world level fighter prior to getting his numerous undeserved chances.

    He's done extremely well considering his top 3 wins are Dodson x 2 and Quigley.

    Good call with Winky, his initial championship run was like defending the British title.
