Isnt Satterfields inconsistency simply a function of his competition and schedule?

 

Danny Williams and Terry Norris are probably two of the best examples that i have overlooked..

Perfect examples in fact....

 

James Toney

 

great example

ruben olivares in his later years was another on/off performer. he was frightenly consistent in his younger days though

junior jones is another one

 

Like mentioned earlier, a lot of the 80's fighters. Jersey Joe Walcott seemed to fight up and down to competion. He looked great in the first Louis fight, he had great fights with Charles, and was very impressive in the first Marciano fight.

 

Don't actually follow the logic. Why lose to the second raters? Consistently fighting top men will lead to defeats, though, unless one is a super fighter in the Sugar Ray Robinson mode.

Jerry Quarry.

 

Mike Tyson

 

A few more: Jack Sharkey, Evander Holyfield (at HW), Emile Griffith (relatively speaking given his talents).

 

I was unaware Duran took drugs ,what is your source? Duran was undisciplined as he got older ,loved his food and would gorge himself ,he was a known **** swordsman too,I think a lot of his losses can be blamed on the fact he was not in top shape and fighting above his best weight.Ray Arcel said he could have stayed at Lighweight ,but his eating habits pushed him to Welter.

 

Satterfield was party animal ,many of his losses could be laid at the doors of Ladies bedrooms.

 

Jack Sharkey is a good shout ,as is James Toney.I don't see how Holyfield ,who was rated in the top 10 for over 10 years can be classed as inconsistant though.
