Which less-achieving boxers do you have a soft spot for?

Here's my list:

1. Monte 'Two Gunz' Barrett. Ever since he fell into the ring trying to jump over the ropes in the Haye fight I liked him. In the fights vs. a washed-up Tua he won my heart over forever.

2. David 'Too chinny for a nickname' Price. You just have to feel for him, I feel for him like for an idiot brother in the family. You can't hate him, it's not his fault.

3. Manuel 'The diamond bum' Charr. Still lying in the hospital bed, after being shot in the guts, he said he'd be back and become HW champion of the world. I thought he was crazy but have to pay respect when respect is due.

 

I like Dave Allen despite his clear limitations as a fighter.

 

Amir Khan - whether it's getting KO'd, losing, struggling or getting dropped by people he was supposed to beat easily, dumbly saying stupid things or tweeting stupid things, wanking on skype, waiting for big fights that don't materialize, being inactive for no reason, having idiotic deluded fans, having a high profile celebrity status that his ability and achievements do no deserve... Still He's brought a lot of comedy and laughs to the sport so you can't diss him too much, I feel sorry for him, but I'm glad he's been here.

 

Darnell the-ding-a-ling-man Wilson

 

Khans achieved **** loads imo

 

Michael Sprott..Always come across well, maybe shy even. I hear he has a lot of respect from the boxing community, trainers, boxers. I can see why. Never had attitude and just quietly went about his business !

 

As a pro all he's had is a commonwealth title and a manufactured forgettable short paper title reign years ago against the weakest champ and in the weakest division. He's the most ridiculed fighter in the sport. He's just like Audley Harrison except Harrison didn't get a manufactured title shot.

PRICEY

 

a 3 time, 2 weight world champion who had very long reign and won over 20 world title fights...
TROLL.

 

Bar the Brook fight, hes fought a very good quality of opponent and never ducked good fighters, took on some tough fights and made millions in the process. Most boxers would love to have his career. Check his record see who hes fought over the years.

 

Rosado

 

True.. I'll take him off.

 

He's fought one very good fighter in Alvarez and got KO'd
He fought two decent fighters in Garcia and the green pre prime Maidana and got KO'd in one, and struggled and ran like crazy in the other winning a decision that couldve gone either way and he could have been stopped in,
Apart from that everyone you probably class as good is average, poor, feather fisted or over the hill.
He's the most manufactured fighter of my generation.

Never ducked anyone? did he face Thaxton, Murray, Burns or Romanov when he was coming up at domestic level..

Did he face the best in the world at lightweight or light welter? - Juan Diaz, prime Julio Diaz, Katsidis, .. Timothy Bradley, Matthysse,Provodnikov

Has he faced the best welters? Brook, Spence, Crawford, Thurman

He's been cherry picking his entire career and still failed and been a laughing stock, he's been the favourite in every fight he's had apart from Alvarez, I can't believe how deluded you are.

 

crediting Abraham's achievements at MW is as bad as crediting sturm's
judge a fighter's career by who they fought and when, not who they didn't fight just to win paper belts

and both Abraham's and sturm's 'reign' was made even more ridiculous by the fact that they never fought each other! never mind the best fighters in the world at 160

 

Derek Chisora

Pretty much failed every time he was given a chance to step up, and he was given a lot of chances
