Re: Who is the unluckiest fighter of recent times??
I think Zab is also unlucky. Perhaps a bit of bad career management as well.. But he is someone with a tonne of talent that has faded off into the distance, when he should still be up there..

Corrales, for obvious reasons.

True.. his fans also very unlucky.. He was at the top of his game,,, a hugely respected and liked fighter,,,,, and it would be great if we could still be throwing around his name in the WW division stakes...
Re: Who is the unluckiest fighter of recent times??
Casamayor. He feels he was robbed vs Castillo . Chico and Freitas . Yeah he was lucky vs Cruz but he is still owed a couple of favours .

Sometimes I wonder when I read your posts how much boxing you've actually seen and how much you currently see.
You mean to tell me that you think that both JMM & Rafa are NOT 2 of the greatest fighters of this generation?
The 1st brother duo to be Top 10 P4P and the..... You know what?
Before I waste any time and text here. I'd would really like to read you supporting facts to this and why you feel that neither guy is a great fighter. Whenever your ready I'm all :ears:
Heres both guys records so you don't have to go to BoxRec and look them up. Let me know if you need to see any one of their fights and I'll gladly up load them for you. ;)
JMM:
Juan Manuel Marquez
Rafa:
Rafael Marquez

Referring to the first post on Ajose Olusegun. I read his camp have offered to fight Timothy Bradley for the WBC title. They haven't recieved a reply yet. Good fighter, I like Olusegun.

Right now I would say Edison Miranda. He just cannot win a big fight. He get destroyed in them.

This is true, with those 4 wins he would undoubtedly be remembered as one of the greatest of the generaton but sadly not sure that is going to be the case especially if he loses a cashout bout to Marquez.
As great as Marquez is, he ain't beating Casamayor
Re: Who is the unluckiest fighter of recent times??
Golota: 2 times DQ'd vs Bowe, Destroyed by Lewis, Tyson, and Brewster, was given a draw with Chris Byrd and a decision loss vs Ruiz both guys I thought he beat.
....but then again he's Polish and kind of made his own bed with the losses to Bowe, Tyson, and Brewster....he never was going to beat Lewis

Ajose is one of the most talented guys around, he has never had a break, make my words as soon as he does everyone will know his name, he has got all the tools to win a world title, hopefully the chance comes before age catches up with him
Re: Who is the unluckiest fighter of recent times??
I really don't see it with Ajose. I've only seen his fight with Bradley Pryce but man, I thought Calzaghe slapped a lot. Very sloppy and very slappy.
Re: Who is the unluckiest fighter of recent times??
like some one else posted befor i also think that Ike Quartey is a unlucky fighter. I like Ike but he is unlucky with those important desicions in the ring. Am glad to hear he is doing more than good for himself outside of the ring.
