Good Fighters with Losses

I think Johnson being beaten that many times in his earlier days is a testament to how much he's improved over the last several years. I really like Glen Johnson. Good fighter.

 

Pacman with his early losses.

Mijares with his

Donaire 19-1 but he is much better than his record suggests

 

Sam soliman isn't that great i know. but he has something like 12 losses i think. He's still a tough fight for Top 10 Middleweights.

 

flash elorde's record was 88-27-2

cristian mijares had some early losses before becoming one of the best boxers in mexico

juan manuel marquez lost his first fight by DQ

bernard hopkin also lost his first fight

emmanuel augustus had several losses but he's a tough fight for everyone

 

Johnson started out 32-0. He then got the **** kicked out of him against Hopkins, and was stopped. After that, he lost a series of controversial decisions in other fighter's hometowns. I think it was more about Johnson getting an opportunity against a big named fighter who was damaged goods rather than him improving.

 

back in the days, great fighters incur a lot of losses because they don't pick their fights and they don't back off from any challenge. Guys like greb, cotton fitz, archie moore, flash elorde, etc. went on to fight opponents that were probably way heavier, stronger and more skilled than them just to test their limits, in the hopes of achieving unparalleled greatness..

in those days, it wasn't really all about the money...

sadly, nowadays, it's not the same...:-(

 

Ezzard Charles
Fritzie Zivic
Sammy Angott
Jersey Joe Walcott
Joe Brown
Jimmy Carter

 

:huh

 

well if it is 'good' fighters with losses glen johnson, emmanuel augustus and yory boy campas comes to mind

 

I think Glen Johnson is capable of beating anybody from 160 to 175.

 

You havent lost then youre not fighting the best...bottom line
