    Max Gomez... On the back then obscure circuit here but he was a constant throwing & tricky in spots Southpaw featherweight through the 90's.Really had some crap'olla descisions go against him...while serving as the "gritty Game" also ran in some spots.Thought he beat Rudy Zavala (brutal) ,A.Vargas,Toledo and A. Sanchez amongst those looking for record padding.

    Well in recent fights Andrew Golota IMO beat Chris Byrd and John Ruiz and lost decisions to both men....fucking shame, one of the best fighters to never win a belt.


    As far as money it's got to be Tyson all the marketing and big money fights he has had and he's "broke" now or still in need of more money...it's crazy.

    Tyson being broke is mostly his own fault

    Herbert Muhammad took a large percentage from Ali for many years. He must have made millions for doing very little.

    I don't know why people put Tyson. Tyson was part of the most grossed ppv fight ever(later broken by pbf-oscar). He bought Mansions and all type of shit. He just blew his money, or gave it away. He got the money in his hand what he did with it was his fault. Now back to Wilfred he never received anything. Promoters claim that he did get paid but his dad would get the money and blow it. Wilfred is disabled depended on his mom to move around, and both live in a little shack with a 200 dollar paycheck he gets from the commission. Im sure Tyson gets way more then 200 DOLLARS a month and does NOT live in a shack and is not DEPENDANT on his elderly mom to get around. Tyson is living the life compared to Benitez tragic story.... ok i'll stop

    Andrew Golota is nowhere even close to being the best fighter to never win a world title. He is very overrated just because he battered a fat/brain damaged Riddick Bowe around the ring.

    Money wise Jose Luis Castillo of late. Still fighting to support his family and he didn't get paid a penny for the Hatton fight.

    Thats his own fault for not making weight for The 3rd Corrales fight, he must have known he couldnt do it after the 2nd fight but imo didnt even try that hard thinking Chicos pride would make him accept the fight again regardless of weight,

    Castillo owed that money fair and square

    it was the weight problem that cost him money and he did get paid during the hatton fight

    dufing the fight if u hear jim lampley explain bob gave him 100k 1 month before the fight cause he was close to broke and then he got paid the other 400k after the fight i believe.....and he lost most of his money because he supports hes stupid extended family of 20ish cuz they lazy
    mind over speed and power

    Comes back and they take all his shit. That sucks.

    I'd go with Joe Louis too... the way he was treated was a disgrace

    Well to be truthful with Joe Louis' service helped desegregate the Army at least during his exhibition matches along with desegregating the PGA tour. He did a lot of good stuff and yeah he did get ripped off big time.


    Gerry Cooney being used by Don King and then destroyed by Larry Holmes...his management did him wrong.

    Hell famous boxers dying homeless or pennyless isn't out of the ordinary. Boxing is usually rags to riches to rags
