Fighters known more for their losses than their victories

Unfortunately, in a lot of ways, Hearns.

De La Hoya's losses overshadow some good wins
(although casual fans probably don't make that trade off and just remember the name/mystique - almost the polar opposite of Hearns, where the deserved mystique is lost in the shuffle of a couple of losses).

Jirov
Quai

 

Lovemore Ndou

 

John Mugabi?

For all his achievements, Billy Conn is remembered by a lot of casual fans mainly as the guy who nearly beat Joe Louis.

Michael Spinks, by too many casual fans, for the destruction at the hands of Tyson.

As said before, in some ways, Hearns. Too often remembered for the Leonard and Hagler fights and not all those wins and titles.

 

Yep, Judah is a great choice.

 

yaqui lopez got beat by all the top light-heavies in the late 70's early 80's.
although a fine light-heavy,billy conn is better known for his losses to joe louis.
henry cooper is only known only for his defeats to muhammad ali.

 

Donavon 'Razor' Ruddock made it the final four of the 1992 Heavyweight elimination competition, on the strength of losing to Tyson twice.

Indeed, Ruddock went into the Lewis fight the betting favourite!

 

Jerry Quarry

MR.BILL

 

Ken Norton?

 

Could the Oscar of recent years be included on this list ?

 

Ricardo Mayorga

Cory Spinks

Fernando Vargas

Ike Quartey

Yory Boy Campas

John Mugabi

 

Vitali has to be the biggest name. His loyal fans consider it a victory. Clottey is also a perennial loser that has a good name and Malignaggi too. Ricardo Mayorga can be added to that list as well. He was cannon fodder for every big name after his flash in the pan wins over Forrest.
