Nope. Especially considering he was well on his way to duplicating his 'one hit' before Chavez hopped out the fire exit and slid down the ladder when given the opportunity in rematch. Randall won that fight but he lost the politics. The guy won the belt thrice when frankly he should not have "lost" it twice. He had solid boxing punching skill set, sat amongst the p4p 10 and had solid comp in Pendleton, Rosario, Fuentes, Ramos early through some serious screw jobs put to him, yes including his demons and a stint in jail in 89. His implosion with Ramos still baffles but thats boxing 101. He became obsessed with getting Chavez back in the ring for 3rd fight right away but frankly JCC and King couldn't wait for him to go away. He relapsed after domination of solid Champion Coggi and late in career was out of weight, out of senses and eventually out of time. When I think one hit wonders I think flukes or lucky shots. For me Randall put on one of the most disciplined executions of a game plan and break down of a legend ever seen. He should have been much longer lasting but he wasn't a fluke.
