    I was half joking about Emanuel Augustus, but here's a name Ice missed - Carmen Basilio, for sure.

    Augustus is probably the best fighter ever with 20+ losses and under 30 wins. I'm not sure there has ever been a guy with a 35-29 record, barely better than .500, who can give a top class fighter a hard time, even win, on any given night.

    Micky Ward. He may not be great but he was GREAT to watch.

    ICE, Holyfield is on 9 losses. I thought of him too but Sultan gave him his 9th defeat. Holyfields gonna be there though if he doesn't take a hint and retire already! I hope he will now??
    I was sure Arturo Gatti was handed his 10th defeat by Gomez but it was his 9th...Although most wouldn't consider him great, he was a former world champ.

    Henry Cooper? Not a world champion but was around in a very tough era and gave Ali all he could handle.

    Ok,So there not all Greats but everyone could hold there own and most did much more......

    Joey Maxim
    Livingston Bramble

    Beau Jack And Bob Montgomery (There round robbins together are enough alone to be Included)
    Manuel Medina Before you laugh we all know he couldnt break egg's but had enough to compete with and beat some of the very best in his era.
    Jimmy Carter
    Jimmy Bivins
    George Dixon (so it's written anyway)But if we excluded fighters because we have not seen them with our own eyes.....where do you draw the line
    Harold Johnson
    Saoul Mamby was a great but hung around waaay to long and became the ultimate gate keeper.Think he's the only guy EVER to fight in 5 different decades ?

    CC back. Johnson is such a throwback, late bloomer journeyman. A guy who kept active, kept improving and peaked late in his career. He deserves much respect.

    Well said Rozzysean.Honest fighters like Johnson remind me why it is I love this sport.He was the victim many times over of seeing Impaired judges..(Kiwanuka,Sheika,Judah,etc fights) but has not lost a step.Deserves the constant respect usally heaped upon some champions.
    Its early as far as predictions but Im picking him to upset Dawson over 12 dictated rounds.

    Roberto Duran actually did this as well. Debut 1968, last fight 2001. 60'es, 70'es, 80'es, 90'es and 00's.

    Guess its a bit different for fighters from many years ago as they had that many fights compared to today's generation so 10 losses or more doesn't look that bad.

    In recent years I would have to say Johnny Nelson. Holyfield will overtake him shortly and then there's Duran


    And let's not forget Rocky Balboa
    Don't bully fat kids - they've got enough on their plate

    Good call Mikkel,I forgot good ol' Duran.Must be the mid-life loss of memory Guess I can take the question mark out of there.Surely not the only Two.CC for the fact check.

    Good call. He's arrived at 10 losses recently. 91-10. Not too shabby!
