    I'm not sure if he's the #1 unluckiest, but Ike Quartey comes to mind.

    1. Got a draw against Jose Luis Lopez in a fight most thought he won.
    2. Signed for a big money fight against Whitaker, which got cancelled when Whitaker got arrested for drug possession.
    3. Lost a controversial decision to Oscar, a fight many people thought he won
    4. Got robbed against Vernon Forrest

    Jorge Linares seems to be very under the radar and should receive more exposure.

    In terms of being on the wrong end of decisions I would go with Glen Johnson. If we are talking about unlucky in terms of getting big fights, I would say all those Cuban boxers that never got their opportunity to turn pro. What a different history boxing would have if Cuba was included.

    They are not allowed, the only Cubans who turn professional are those who are illegals and seek immunity after (Escaping), such a shame those guys would have really lifted pro boxing, would love to have seen Savon taking on the heavyweights, he KO'd Shannon Briggs and David Tua among others in the amateurs which didn't happen at all with Tua in the pros and not Shannon was pretty tough too.

    Right now I would say Edison Miranda. He just cannot win a big fight. He get destroyed in them.
