    In the heavyweight division certainly Lennox Lewis. His legacy made more money than he did, he missed so many big fights. :lol:

    I remember watching that fight. Grimsley felt pretty good about himself for going the distance with Foreman. This probably brought him back down to reality. I dont know. I enjoyed watching Thunder because of his style, but I dont think he was a fighter too many guys avoided.

    Hopkins and Ricardo Lopez? Are you sure about those?

    Ruddock, Marquez, Harry Simon, Winky Wright.

    After waiting for hamed for 2 years,JMM said no to a quickie contract to be signed just after he lost to-I think,Derrick Gainer-and the fight to take place right away.He also lowballed JMM and there was never any word from the hamed camp concerning JMM afterwards.

    How did Carbajal avoid Lopez? He moved up to Light Flyweight just as Carbajal was on the cuff of retiring. The fight should have happened around 1994.

    I don't think fighters avoid other fighters i believe they all have ego's and no matter how good or bad they are still think they can beat any 1 ,I think the managers and trainers may think otherwise but not the fighter
