    Inoue

    The guy has wins pretty much only over contenders and champions, yet some pretend like he doesn't fight good fighters, partially due to how easily he destroys them.

    Ali's chin, underrated physical strength and mental toughness made him too good for his own good.

    Most greats fall under this. Donald Curry.. There is something about Donald which fascinates me in how his career went. He was on top of the world and thought to be a challenge to Hagler. McCallum was going to be a win probably, and then Lloyd. I think the problem with Donald was he underestimated Lloyd Honeyghan and Mickey Duff for one..
