Most misleading records?

James Corbett

12(5 ko)-4-2

 

Fritzie Zivic is perhaps the best example.

He retired with a record of 157-65-10 yet he is to my mind a pound for pound great. Henry Armstrong would have had no easy time with him even at his peak.

 

Tiger Ted Lowry had a record of 67W(43KO)+67L(Only three by kayo)+10D. Best known for having gone the distance with Marciano twice without hitting the deck. Also the only one to last the distance twice against Billy Fox, drawing with Fox in their initial meeting. Went the distance twice with LaStarza. Also went the distance with Tiger Jack Fox, Joey Maxim, Jimmy Bivens, drew with Lee Savold and Lee Oma. A tough, resourceful warhorse. (Marciano said if he fought Lowry a hundred times, the match would go the distance a hundred times.)

 

iran barkley 43-19

his power and chin is very misleading by the records

 

brent cooper is maybe the most misleading record of all
20-5 doesnt look much a bit so so
but look at his compatition and its SOO poor
los and drawn with reggie strickland
beaten by robert muhhamad

possible the most padded record in history...

 

darnell boone 14-10
such a good fighter compact speedy doenst have the power but is always in shape he just doesnt have the reach and hieght ..and with little power he is really helpless but his boxing skills and defence is amazing.

robbed all the time i have a fight on espn of him against this undefeated prospect and him totally outboxing him in speed,agilty and those combo's i dindt see him lose a single round. and got robbed real shame.

 

Corbetts actual record included 90+ fights!

 

johnny nelson 45-12

possibly the most boring fighter ever to brace the clench of a belt...but he did know his stuff and if not getting hit is an art he was a artist at it he was very quick ,tall and unorthodox but his style was stunningly un-crowd pleasing

but his jab power and tactics made him a hard opponant if you beat him in his prime you got a very big well done sticker.

it's also his poor amateur record that amazes me 17 fights with 4 wins!

 

Johnny's career is all kinds of weird anyway! The kind of thing no-one would believe if he was a fictional character...

Mike Weaver was a better fighter than his 41-18-1 record would suggest.

 

Rocky Marciano's 49-0. You'd think he was an all-time great, but if you look closely, you'll see he only fought old men, journeymen and light heavyweights.

 

i saw the funniest youtube highlight of all time
it was a highlight of the johnny nelson vs de leon made by frank warran to promote his fighter.

and there was about 3 punches in over all it was 40 seconds long with only 3 punches landed:rofl :rofl :rofl i swear it's a joke

 

Fritzie Zivic fought as a journeyman for several years before he made boxing his full time job.

During this period he fought verry frequently against high grade opposition and wore the cuffs a lot.

 

I bet all 3 punches were landed by Nelson though :yep
Sounds like the highlights for a few Hopkins fights I can think of
