    Was talking about Iran Barkley last night, as his got mentioned at 'an evening with nigel benn.' Don't think he ever got the credit he deserved... i mean, this is a guy who beat Hearns twice.

    Augustus is underrated IMO. robbed of victories a few times and showed he had a lot of heart and skills in the Ward fight.

    I know they don't have many loses but what about BHOP/Mosley? both top 10 P4P at the moment.

    ****er beat me to it!

    i'll add jimmy carter's 80-31-9 to the mix. beat ike williams, won the lightweight title and defended himself to the media once by saying that he won more fights than he lost

    great fighter, but almost as inconsistent as giardello

    Evanders got a fair few losses on his record but his resume speaks volumes.

    Sad thing is you dont know humor when you see it! YOU the only one to comment thinking i was serious. How about i correct it for you 3 losses and 2 Draws! Not much better is it?

    Current example, Humberto Soto.

    For being one of the top lower weight guys in the world, and only 30 years of age, to have 7 losses and 2 draws and still remain a well considered top fighter is commendable.

    The drunken master is not a top fighter.

    He was a contender at best. Just because he got robbed a few times and threw in a fight doesnt excuse him for his performance against real top fighters.
