This thread is dedicated to very good fighters, who perhaps never reached greatness who had plenty of losses but only to the best. The Juan Laporte Post gave me the idea.
I'll start with Jose Louis Ramirez (102-9), from Mexico who lost to
Pernell Whitaker
Julio Cesar Chavez
Hector Camacho
Edwin Rosario
Ray Mancini
Alexis Arguello
Ruben Olivares
+ one loss early in his career and another to Coggi (who I wouldn't call a great) at the end
Oscar De La Hoya springs to mind. B-Hop
Sugar Shane
Tito
Floyd..
thomas hearns...hagler and leonard
vargas..shane,tito,oscar
Jerry Quarry
George Chuvalo
Ettiene Whittiker as well, but great list except for Mancini.!Quote:

hmmm this thread didn't really turn out like I expected. Basically I had looked for fighters who had fought and lost to a lot of the greats without ever really being considered great themselves. So guys like Hearns & Duran, and every guy RJJ faced ( except the ones who beat him) don't really fit the mold, guys like Ramirez, LaPorte, Quarry, would.
Interesting though that Duran is considered by many "experts" to be greater than everyone who ever beat him, but I think we've already had that thread. :)
will Frank Bruno do ya :)Quote:

Bruno? I wouldn't have picked him, because there aren't that many greats he lost to. only two.
Zab, Botha, S. Branco, M. Medina
