Fighters whose names were bigger than their accomplishments.

[erics44]

Jake Lamotta. And that's not a knock on Jake, who I consider a solid fighter, but his name is incredibly huge from the movie and fighting SRR, and what did he really do? He won the World Title with a spectacular come from behind KO in a fight he was losing handily (for the vacant world title, so he never even beat a champion to get it), then he lost the title in the very next fight by savage SRR beating.

Good but over rated fighter. Book and movie thrust his name value higher than his fighting ability did.

this reminds me of the band joy division


not a bad band at all but nothing amazing, yet their circumstance has catapulted them


basically they were one of the bands that triggered the madchester revolution and then their singer hung himself


2 major films have been made about them, both good films and worth a watch


but they just aren't that good, 1 decent album and one very average one, and one well known song, that's about it
