Fighters whose best efforts were draws

Deontay Wilder.

 

Jeff Fenech vs Azumah Nelson though I believe Jeff clearly deserved the decision (aka robbery). After leaving his heart and soul in the ring only to be blatantly robbed, Jeff’s career downturn thereafter wasn’t entirely unexpected.

 

Trying to think... Checked some names but unsure about em. Very interesting thread idea, though. Some might say Lewis (I think those some are crazy), maybe GGG?

 

I would say Billy Miske vs Fred Fulton if he didn't go on to knock out Fred Fulton.

 

I’m not completely up with his career but perhaps Mickey Walkers draw with Sharkey?

 

Pernell Sweet Pea Whitaker, a little known fighter from Norfolk, VA, in his fittest of prime and at his most desirable and flattering weight was pitted against the God that was Julio Cesar Chavez, a bit old, a bit long in the tooth, past his pull date, partying a bit too hard, above his optimal weight class by 2 divisions, but still JCC!!!... And this Sweet Pea, by methods not always boxing related, does enough to convince some rather rube judges that a Draw was warranted... And grant you, I had Julio comfortably in the lead, but just by the merit of these rather inexperienced judges for this Sweet Pea to garner a Draw against a fighter so far above him in class and achievement, that was quite an accomplishment. And I hope you all will agree that Pernell deserves applause for that effort.

 

Whitaker did ok against Chavez too, comparatively. It was a brilliant performance by Whitaker.

 

Ah gee, forgot about that one. Great call JT.

 

McCallum's draw against Toney is probably one of the best draws of all time.

 

Michael Brodie vs In Jin Chi 1

Howard Davis Jr vs Meldrick Taylor

Rosendo Alvarez vs Ricardo Lopez 1

Ray Close vs Chris Eubank Sr

Sanderline Williams vs James Toney

Segundo Mercado vs Bernard Hopkins

 

GGG against Canelo in their first fight where he should have been given a win.

Most recently Lamont Roach Jr against Gervonta Davis.

 

I was expecting this post from you lol

 

Harold Weston - D - Wilfred Benitez

 

I would probably still say Billy Miske vs Fred Fulton.

He drew against Fulton at his absolute best, while Fulton was well on the slide when he beat him.
