This guy is my favorite. Look at the who he's fought, to have lost to all those guys without ever being stopped is insane.

Glen Johnson is probably my favorite. He fought everyone and was ripped off numerous times. What a solid pro he turned out to be. Emmanuel Augustus/Burton is another favorite of mine. Loved his war with Mickey Ward (another solid journeyman).
Bronco McKart was a bit of a journeyman, as was Winky Wright (early in his career). Winky would go anywhere and fight anyone and had some debatable/tough losses early. I would take any of those guys over Canelo by the way. Shows you how unfair the sport we love can be...

To be honest i really do not think that Shane was that great at 154 he was not big enough for that weight class and gave up speed at that weight. He was atg at lw and hof at ww but lmw was a weight class i felt was never good for him. Wright was a great fighter but at times his style was hard to judge for me when it came to decision. Wright was a great fighter though when he destroyed Tito it was one of the most one sided fights i think i have ever seen atg to to another. It sucks because i think history will not give Wright the dues he does deserve was a great fighter.

Winky lost his title to Harry Simon who could throw hundreds of punches in a round which was the way to swarm and beat Winky. It was controversial and I think Winky got a draw in the ring but lost it is the dressing room because they counted it wrong.
Harry Simon then went on to beat a lot of our dometic fighters.
Winky ended up earning respect and fighting the big fights in USA losing to Vargas etc.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
I don't think I've ever seen him, but what's also crazy is that he didn't turn pro until he was already 33 or something. Even after he started losing, the wins he did get weren't against tomato cans, he obviously knew how to handle himself, or he would have been stopped somewhere regardless of how tough he was.
