Who's stock went down the most this year?
Theres been some great fights and fighters this year, but some guys were a bit of a disapointment. Who do you think was the biggest flop this year?
I'll start with a few punchers who disapointed this year:
Vic Darchinyan-Got knocked the hell out with a perfect punch by Nonito Donaire. Couldn't have happened to a bigger jerk.
Samuel Peter- Got up off the canvas THREE times to outpoint fringe contender, big pussy, Jameel McCline. So much for him being a feared puncher.
Edison Miranda-Got blasted out in 6 rounds by Kelly Pavlik. Since Pavlik is now the MW Champ, the loss doesn't look too bad. But still hurts Miranda's image of being such a feared fighter.
Re: Who's stock went down the most this year?
Castillo.
Vargas.
So many more...but I'm just too hammered off of TUACA to think right now. :drunks:
Re: Who's stock went down the most this year?
I think Taylor's stock dropped after his loss to Pavlik.. He went from being undefeated, to losing titles by getting KO'd by Pavlik.. someone who wasn't a former champ or champ at the time. Even though people had their doubts in Jermain, i still think now that there is a loss on his record, it almost magnifies what people were saying about his "gift decisions" of the past, and it questions him more as a fighter.
BUT i think that the fact that he is taking the rematch keeps his stock up there in question.. he could avenge his loss possibly forcing a 3rd fight, which would be quite interesting.

Not to be picky but Miranda got smoked in the 7th round. And lo and behold JT got smacked in the 7th round too. I see JT's stock going down as much if not moe than Miranda's. as he WAS the MW champion. Tony Margarito's went down a bit I suppose as he was supposed to beat PW but came up short.
Re: Who's stock went down the most this year?
Cintron
Castillo
Vargas
Peter
Judah
Miranda
Mora
Not all disappointing performances but i believe there stock has gone well down.
Re: Who's stock went down the most this year?
Taylor's stock has been down...but yeah...it burnt to ashes in about 20 some odd minutes against Pavlik...Miranda too.
Good points.
Re: Who's stock went down the most this year?
Good calls on Castillo and especially Mora. Zab's stock goes up and down more than he did with Kostya ::**
Re: Who's stock went down the most this year?
Not that it was high in the first place but the drop was still dramatic even though from a low level. "Asthma Man" Shannon Briggs.

Valuev
Sturm

In truth, Taylor's stock dropped even BEFORE the Pavlik fight. The fact that he nearly lost to Cory Spinks really damaged his reputation.
Cory Spinks got KO'd by a small welterweight. And he almost beat Jermain.

True. I guess Pavlik just made his stock plummet ;D
Re: Who's stock went down the most this year?
O Neil Bell just because he has only had 1 fight this year and that loss seems to have effected him i remember last year how people were saying he was number 1 in division how things change in 1 year.
Antonio Tarver
Felix Sturm
Luis Collazo
Amir Khan
