Vince Philips looked like a monster the night he beat Kostya. He was humiliated by Ike Quartey before that fight and I don't recall him beating anyone of note after. Was a solid fighter with decent skills though, so he may not fit the description.
Willy Wise over JCC? Wise had a shaky record over weak opposition, beat a past his prime JCC, and then never won another fight of note. I'm not sure if Willy is the right choice since JCC was past his prime, but picked him since JC superstar was still such a big name and huge favorite.
Mullings was a great example. Tough to beat that one.
