I remember Enzo Maccaranelli defending his WBO title against Bobby Gunn, who looked small for a cruiser, old and not in great shape, and appearances weren't deceptive because he got beat in a about a minute. Haye vs Harrison was an obvious one, an utterly pathetic cash in fight, even though on paper a European champion should be a decent enough challenger for a world title. In many ways that was worse because it was built up so much people were believing it was a real fight and alot of people felt ripped off because of it. Stuff like Mac vs Gunn were never major fights, just record padding defences and everyone knew it.
i know it was a mandatory...my point was a mandatory means JACK **** if the mandatory is against a guy who has won 3 fights in 7 years and close to 40 years old
wow...thats pathetic.....you lose 2 fights to the caveman and all the sudden you are mandatory for a 3rd fight without fighting since your last loss..AMAZING
Thomas Tate don't know a whole lot about him other than what I can see from boxrec went 12 rounds with a prime Julian Jackson Got ko'd in 2 by a 25-0 RJJ Beat a couple of decent fighters - Beat Omar Sheika in 4 rounds, Dropped 2 decisions to Ottke - which could mean anything really. Calzaghe was due to fight him just after the second Ottke fight but he pulled out with a perforated ear drum and then retired with a 41-7 record. To the main ts question I seem to remember Ricardo Lopez beat some guys that made Tocker Pudwill look like Mike Tyson.
Pick one in the career of Pong... but he's fighting good fighters between one or two cab drivers. I have nothing against it, he's simply fighting a lot. http://boxrec.com/list_bouts.php?human_id=34051&cat=boxer
Austin did earn his #1 ranking at the time. He did nothing in the fight however. Calzaghe had a few **** poor title fights against no hopes.
Yes he actually was set to fight Valuev. Don't try to understand WBA politics or blood will shoot out of your nose
