Overachievers in boxing

[Spicoli]

What about a Iran Barkley?

He's a good example too. Also, I think John John Molina was an overachiever. He gave De La Hoya a good fight despite not being anywhere near him in talent.

Molina was a capable boxer, tight little counter puncher prior. Was off long run...and coming up.

Sticking with homeland I'd put Jake 'The snake' Rodriquez on list. Couldn't break eggs but hustled way to title and good story.
