Most Protected Fighters

[boxer1234]

No knock on Joe at all but he was overprotected for the majority of his career.
He had the potential to beat alot of big names in the industry in comparison to whats currently on his resume.
Its only now Joe has been getting the big fights but at 36-37 he is no longer in the prime of his career.

I'm a huge fan of the Petersons but no doubt they've had it soft.

Pavlik had it very soft till Miranda but that's besides the point now.

Obviously JCC Jr.

That Tyrone Brunson guy who's 19-0 with 19 straight first round KO's, one cashier after another.

[El Kabong]

Alexander Dimitrenko...

Yeah he hasn't stepped up as he should have but to be honest he's chinny and doesn't have much power.


I would say that Chagaev and Valuev seem to be off in their own protected version of the heavyweight division, one which doesn't include: Wlad Klitschko, Sam Peter, or anyone else that can punch.

Felix Sturm, Arthur Abraham, Amin Asikainen, Sebastian Sylvester, and all the other Europeans in the middleweight division!

James McGirt Jr.
Aaron Pryor Jr.
Amir Kahn


DAVID HAYE at heavyweight....you don't have a right to call out the best in a weight class you haven't even fought in.

This is a good point but while he had the potential to beat a lot of big names i feel he would have lost to a prime Hopkins and certainly Jones and he wouldn't be as marketable without his 0 so thats why he was so protected
