Heavyweight contenders who you thinks should have been better

Having Blinky Palermo controlling your career was a bad bad sign.

 

I remember reading he looked upon the good black heavyweights as some kind of supermen,it took him a long time to shake off that feeling of inferiority. Good recall on McCoy he really developed Coetzee's left hand!!

 

He did Mac, for sure. Coetzee had a poor mentality for a long time.

 

Gerrie Coetzee did fine up to 1984 when he lost to Page.
He didn't lose to anyone who wasn't good. The Snipes loss was a robbery.
He destroyed Leon Spinks in 1 round.

 

I think the latter Coetzee might have beaten Tate.

 

Roy Williams
Jimmy Young
Cooney
Ruddick

 

Some of those I agree with. But Duane Bobick had a glass chin and that's an incurable defect regardless of lifestyle, training, management, etc..
