    Wladimir Klithscko

    People thought he was done

    after that embarrassing rapefest by druggie Ross Purrity

    then he came back and got knocked out by a golfer

    then people thought HE WAS REALLY DONE


    he came back again and got ****ed in the ass by Lamont 'slick' Brewster

    THEN PEOPLE THOUGHT IT'S REALLY REALLY OVER.


    Now he is champion and a future top 40

    Steve Robinson
    Jonny Nelson 0-3 after his first three
    Chris Edwards was 3-8-1 at one point and is now a decent british level fighter.

    For me it's Juan Diaz. I remember watching a young, slightly chubby kid doing some huffing and puffing trying to inflict body damage on his opponents. ........never thought he'd go as far as he did.
