Who is the unluckiest fighter of recent times??

[SweetPea]

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

the marquez brothers deserve a mention

both came within a whisker of greatness and just failed!!

[LEGION]

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

His time will come

I strongly believe this guy will take over once pacman calls it a day and dominate the lights!!

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.

Unless they defect, ala Casamayor and Gamboa.




Did that clown Yanqui Diaz defect? Or is he just Cuban by nationality, but an American citizen?

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.

Corrales, for obvious reasons.

Corrales, for obvious reasons.

Still does not quite sink in, I was watching his Castillo fight the other week.

[Dizaster]

Corrales, for obvious reasons.

True.. his fans also very unlucky.. He was at the top of his game,,, a hugely respected and liked fighter,,,,, and it would be great if we could still be throwing around his name in the WW division stakes...
