Who is the most avoided fighter of all time?

:deal

Tommy you are one funny **** pal

 

There really is too many to give 1 name

McCallum - Wanted Hagler/Leonard/Duran/Hearns never got any of them. Never got to fight the big money champs like Benn/Eubank after that

Burley - couldnt get his shot at Armstrong/Zivic at WW, couldnt get his shot against WW so moved to MW and couldnt get the shot at Zale/Grazziano despite being the best contender. Then theres robinson and lamotta who werent keen on fighting him either

Lets be honest though Champions dont want to risk there title against the toughest challenge unless they are heavily compensated

 

Both Ted kid Lewis and Jack Britton developed ear trouble whenever this forgotten atg name was mentioned.

Nice post.

Mike McCallum never got shots at the big four middlewieghts mentioned above and probably does considerable damage to all of them if he was given the chance to fight them.

Burley
Bob Satterfield

Good name Legion: Randall Flagg fan I assume?

 

Welterweight Ted Kid Lewis fought Light heavyweights like Rosenbloom,Belanger ,and Carpentier.I don't think he avoided anyone.

 

its a hard one, who do i go for? a guy who was really active and succesful in evry respect except he didnt get a shot at a title or a talented guy who was so avoided he never got his career going? occasionaly i come acros a name of a guy who retires with only a handful of fights but a few scalps and impresive wins as an amatuer like Kent green who kod ali as an amatuer surly had potential, alberto lovell who won a gold medal for argentina beat arturo godoy many times or loyd marshall?

 

even though they won titles ezzard charles,archie moore and mike mccallum were avoid for a long time,moore suffering most.charlie burley is the most avoided overall though.

"I am Legion" is out of the bible in original. I can´t remember if some demon or the devil himself says that.

Randall Flagg was pretty cool though. :good

 

the king of las vegas ??

 

I know Lgion is the demon from the bible............in a pig I believe.

Just thought I might try and seek out some fans of 'The Stand', which you and Turpin appear to be :good

Best book I've ever read.

 

absolutely.i felt sorry for harold though ??kings latest offerings are pretty crap on the whole.
