Right first i'll mention JLC!

And secondly much like jlc freddie gives you the impression that he was not the fighter he became from the start ..He learnt his craft by boxing as a professional and bieng sucha good bloke he learnt from his experiances and made the best of every occurance good or bad

Peace
Pendleton was the name that immediately came to mind for me as well. His record was 24-16 when he faced Pernell Whitaker, and he gave him by far the toughest fight that Whitaker had during his reign as lightweight champ. Pendleton legitimately won 3 or 4 rounds, more than guys like Greg Haugen, Jose Luis Ramirez, Azumah Nelson, Jorge Paez, etc.

Pendleton faced guys like Frankie Randall, Roger Mayweather, Livingstone Bramble, Whitaker, Paez, Ruelas, Trinidad, Vince Phillips, Terron Millett, James Page, Tackie, Hatton
