Rocky Juarez- same as Judah. Almost as delusional. Got his a** handed to him by Humberto Soto. Soto STILL has not had a shot. Juarez got a shot at a horrible version of MAB and still lost(most had MAB by 2,myself included). Then he gets an undeserved rematch,loses every round getting his ears boxed off and then says MAB ran> The he looks lackluster,and,lo,behold,gets another title shot v JMM.

Bernard hopkins- a wonderful fighter,incredible work ethic but lucky in the sense that when he was 160 champ there were not that many big challenges around,so when you look at his title defences,you think is ram packed filled with good/great opponents.It's not. Careful match making or genuine lack of opponents? I don't know.

I'll think of more later. I think you should add unlucky to the thread title too,makes it more interesting.
Thanks Ill probably do an unlucky thread down the line unless you want to start it up. Juarez is definately lucky to even be in with some of the guys he has given his lackluster performances. Also, he was very lucky to get thae win in his fight on the ODLA-Floyd undercard. I thought he lost that one. Not sure abou B-Hop though. He was just not in the best era for middleweights, but hes very deserving of where hes got to imo.
