Fighters that shouldn´t have become champion but did

ala villamor

 

The ultimate example here would be Billy Backus.

 

I have a hard time witht his thread..because i understand that some guys luck out aganst champs or injuried or weakened (i feel like Michael Moore aganst Holyfield is a example of that...becoming a linear champ....and even his alphabelt championship after) yet at the same time i have a hard time saying anyone who gets the win "shouldnt" have...

 

Verry valid point.

As the champion, Johnson could have dictated whatever duration he wanted for the fight.

He chose to fight over 45 rounds.

 

barry jones. 18(0)-0
drawing with a welsh level fighter a year before his title shot.

massamiliano duran- italian hero, who the public latched onto after damiani retired himself. thinking he was a unoticed tresure....sadly he want all that at all
.
fabrice beichou - nice guy in his own right and could fight/box but just awkward and in the most literally sense undeserved

 

Lloyd Honeyghan.
