Guys we thought were bums but turned out great

Hopkins had lost more than he'd won at one point in his career

Like the spell binder and letter man...I'm changing bum to burnt!

I never thought Cotto was burnt out after Pacuiao. A lot of fans, coaches and commentators stated it. Cotto proved he had gas in the tank

While I never thought Glencoffe was a bum, I didn't think he could beat Tarver, let alone RJJ. He was just a workhorse to me. After the Tarver fight, I began to see him as one of the best LHW of his era.

I didn't think much of Tarver when he lost to Harding or when he won the rematch. Loud mouth guy, that's it. But when he fought Montel Griffin...I thought it was a boxing lesson. Final seconds of the fight..Tarver fainted...one shot and dropped Griffin...without moving, stationary. I suspected then he could compete with RJJ. But before Griffin, Target imo was a loud mouth bum.

Froch is probably the biggest one for me, I didn't think he was going to be any good, let alone have the kind of career that he did.
