And no skills

I saw him kickboxing after he retired from boxing....Was beating the hell out of guys for a while...Just smothering them then punching the crap out of them in close...He would just throw the minimum required kicks per round...Think he won a title of some sort....


As for the other things you guys are both right...

Ice---he was a tough SOB who could take a shot....Good thing too....Cause like VD said he had NO skills lol.....

Hell the guy has to of have been in at least 30 movies too

Ray Mercer and Tommy Morrison both won the WBO Championship . I would consider that a legit title !

Ike Ibabuchie

ive got lots of favourite boxers but id have to say reggie strictland

do any of you guys know him?

danny williams ;D lol

Ben “ Wonder” Tackie

I am a huge fan of this fighter , He is so exciting to watch in the ring, has so much heart and determination factor is high , yet he has never been able to win a major world title, Tackie is one of the most exciting fighters in boxing today, and unfortunately over shadowed by other fighters, I love to watch Ben Tackie fight, will give any opponent one hell of a fight ! Very pleasing style to watch !

alex stewart he gave us some wars the fight with foreman was brutal! he also gave holyfield all he could hadle if i remember correctly

Ray Oliveira

Another very exciting fighter that never could grab a major world title. many thrilling fight’s he's been in ! O0

I always liked Ray, the Augustus fight was sad to watch. You saw him put his arm behind his head and he looked concerned, then he drove Augustus into the corner and ripped a flurry kind of as a last gasp, and then the arm back behind the head. Watching that fight after the fact, when you knew that was it, it was kind of a sad moment, cause he knew something was wrong, and then went all out with that combo, then grabbed the back of his head and you knew that was it. Hope he doesn't fight again and stays healthy. For some reason I've always liked the guys that knew they couldn't knock a guy out with one punch so just decided to work and work and work.

Always been a big fan of Augustus too, some people see him as a clown, the man is tough, just watch the Ward fight. And watch the
Oliveira fight where he throws nothing but body shots after Ray starts grabbing the back of his head. Not a single head shot.

Excellent post.. in particular the part about Augustus not throwing anymore heads shots ! I remember that. excellent sportsmanship . sometimes you can tell when your opponent is in serious troubles . and its always the fighters that can take the shots, the guys that can't take a punch dont have to worry about them , they are out cold before they get seriously hurt. but the guys that just keep standing and wont go down , these guys are real vulnerable to debilitating injury when they are rocked. .. I can tell you I can't help but to try and avoid seriously hurting someone when I know they are in troubles. even if there is bad blood . You look at the ref like , what the fuck you waiting for ? your corner will ream your ass for it. but man who wants to kill someone? Not I !

Armando Muniz good contender fought Carlos Palomino gave him 15 tough rounds fought for title couple times never won it unfortunately

Henry Wharton never won title gave eubank + benn tough fights taking them the full 12 and wharton had never been stopped i think hes worth a mention

Donavon 'Razor' Ruddock would be a world champ if he was around now!!!

charley burley dont think he won title dont think he fought for one either he never got stopped in over 80+ fights alot of champions avoided him i heard

You mean 30 rds. cause the 2nd fight was closer then what the judges score cards might lead you to believe.
He also IMO defeated Jose Napoles in their 1st meeting, would it not have been for Mr. Sulaiman who was there to give him (Napoles) a hand Muniz would have won.
Good call.... CC# 269
