Great boxers with bad records#

Of course this is almost certainly an incomplete record.

Jeff Clark had a loosing record on boxrec a couple of years agao before his career was researched more extensivley and he is recognised today as one of the greatest pound for pound fighters of his era.

Big Bill Tate is another guy who has poor numbers on paper but mixed with the best and beat them ocasionaly.

 

Not great, but Emmanuel Augustus and Saul Mamby are two great recent examples.

Ezzard Charles has a extremely misleading record, simply looking at the numbers. 92-25. You wouldn't look at that statistic and think top five ATG great. But the slide came hard and fast for Charles.

Then there's Mike Weaver, 41-18, and 52-19 Joe Choynski.

 

Joe Medel, better than his record suggests?

 

define bad record.

 

Misleading numbers.

 

I see what you mean. I took it as fighters that were better than there win loss ratio, not looking at their competition doesn't do them justice. Does that make sense?

 

Iran Barkley, 43-19-1. I would say Iran was better than all those defeats suggest. He does live off his two wins against Hearns to a certain extent. Not a bad operator nonetheless.

 

Yup. One of the best Bantamweights of one of the most stacked eras in the division's history. Such constant difficult competition from front to back of a career will put a lot of L's on your record, many coming early and late during his career when he was not at his best.

 

Raul Cruz, mexican bantam

!8-16-2 record included 10 men who were to become, had been or were current champions.
Split 2 with chucho Castillo, beat Ricardo Arredondo and Rafael Herrera.

 

We don't particularly have anything else approaching it to even begin to compare, now do we?

 

i remember this guy named darryl pickney for what his record suggests he beat junior jones and guty espadas.

karino garcia, 38-28-4

cult legend who lost 18 fights staight and then beat faded meldrick taylor, simon brown, frankie randall, jorge vaca and some thought he beat a prime david reid.

 

Bunny Sterling and Jesse Burnett.

 

Bennie Briscoe's record is misleading. An ungodly amount of close calls, and then there's the fact that he avenged 3/4ths of his losses and stuck around way too long.
