    Default Who are some of your favorite Not so great fighters?

    I've always been a fan of Chris Byrd, going back to his Tuesday Night Fights days. His quirky style was always entertaining.

    Angel Manfredy. I hate that he burned out so fast.

    I dunno man, I say "not so great" with a heavy heart but I was a big fan of Fernando Vargas - I have a hard time saying he was "not so great" as he had so much potential but never really won the big one apart from Winky Wright.

    What he had achieved by such a young age was amazing though.

    Massive fan of Eubank as a kid but I think he qualifies as great despite me now understanding that his record was padded out to the max. Only lost to Cal-slappy 8 rounds to 4 as well with a weeks notice and wayyy past his prime.

    Timothy Bradley, Chad Dawson, Juanma Lopez.

    Not great fighters, not yet anyway. In Juanma's case, might never be.

    Ive always like paul smith, he seems down to earth and always gives 110%, he won his first 20 odd fights and looked destined for big things...... Unfortunatly he came unstuck and it looks like hes british title level no further

    One of us must be misreading the thread... Roy Jones, Gene Tunney, and Harry Greb on the "Not so great" list?!

    Baby Jake Matlata

    OK he was a World Champion but by no means a star or household name, genetics took care of that I guess.

    Always a pleasure to watch.

    Thats the one mate. It always looked like he was overmatched by at least a couple of weight divisions.
