    Bentt is a good call. Before he beat Morrison his only real claim to "fame" was that he was a highly touted amateur who got creamed in his pro debut.

    Joe Bugner didn't have an extensive amateur career, but there was a buzz around him before he turned pro due to his youth, size, backstory and distinctive look. His non-descript opponent ended up getting off the canvas to land a hail mary KO.

    and to a white boy!!! His fragile ego was so shattered that he didn't return to boxing for 16 months and he dropped down 3 weight divisions becoming a MW so he could feast on smaller men.
