Name fighters who lost fights they had no business losing

Ortiz/Lopez

 

Loenard/Camacho

 

Klitschko - Lewis

 

Roy Jones/Johnson
Roy Jones/Lebedev
Roy Jones/Tarver
Roy Jones/Hopkins

 

Too many to list. Most elites lose at their tailend of their careers.

 

Duran/Joppy

 

Wladimir-All 3 of his losses
Caballero-Jason Litzau

 

Good One bro

 

Ray was clearly a shot fighter at that point so I don't think this applies

Jones was shot when he lost to Hopkins and Lebedev, and near shot when he lost to Johnson

I think the question is more relevant to e.g. Lennox who lost in his prime to Rahman when he should have blasted him out first time round

 

Kirkland/Ishida atsch

 

Agreed on all counts.

I label the Rahman win over Lewis in the "one shot can change history" category. Rahman had one shot at winning that fight -- landing a big right hand. He had been trying all night and finally landed one. It might only happen once every 20 times they fight, but it happened when it needed to.

 

It would be easier and a much shorter list to name those who never did.
Rocky Marciano
Ricardo Lopez
Floyd Mayweather Jr.
Khosai Galaxy?
That might be it.

 

Golota - Bowe I and II - Guy whipped his ass and still lost..
Adamek - Dawson
Sylvia - Mercer(MMA I know but a former UFC Champ in his sport)

 

ahhah dam you beat me to it.

gotta think of another one, how about khan - peterson
