    lets make a list of some of the most talented fighters who ended up having pretty bad/average records. I think for one, victor ortiz is a guy, I could see end up as really talented but have like 10 losses.

    Fred Pendelton 47-26-5-34 kos is the first that comes to mind also Mike Weaver had a pretty bad record when he kod Tate for the title i believe something like 24-9.

    I think a guy like Ortiz would probably retire before he chalked up that many losses.

    Some great fighters ended up with records that don't look too great on paper. Either they fought too long, were matched up really tough, controversial decisions went the other way, went in the tank due to mob orders, etc...

    Jersey Joe Walcott: 51-18-2
    Ezzard Charles: 93-25-1
    Matthew Saad Muhammad: 39-16-3
    Kid Gavilan: 108-30-5
    Jimmy Carter: 81-31-9
    Evander Holyfield: 43-10-2

    Sometimes having zero losses means you are afraid to really test yourself. A shame that a loss seems to mean so much in boxing. It robs the sport of a lot of really good match ups.
