i wanted to rank all of the tough fighters that even though the lost around 10 times or so, rose up and became world champions by ability glenn johnson freddie pendelton mike weaver james smith steve little javier jarugui kelvin seabrooks uriah grant any others?
James Braddock I like that you've mentioned Johnson, I love that guy. When you line up his luck and his ability there's a huge disparity that's for sure. But he's more guts and work ability I suppose, though he's technically proficient.
Steve Little was the only World Champion there, the others held alphabet crap... But anyway I would rank them 1 Pendelton 2 Johnson 3 Seabrooks 3 Weaver 4 Smith 5 Little 6 Jarugi 7 Grant Others that come to mind: Billy Backus Juan Meza Steve Robinson Pipino Cuevas Dennis Andries Verno Phillips
Always had a soft spot for Johnson. The man is more sweat than talent but he became Ring Magazines fighter of the year. Bit of a latter day Jersey Joe Walcott or Jimmy Braddock.
