    Default Who had the worst start has a pro boxer but won a LEGIT Championship??

    Let me start this off cause I reckon I have found a good one

    Victor Cordoba went 0-1-3 in his first 4 fights but managed to win the WBA World super middleweight title and finished with a respectable 22-6-3 (16)ko record

    Freddie Pendleton

    Dick Tiger didn't get off to the best of starts either, nothing to suggest in his early career that he would of become what he did.

    And Johnny Nelson 0-3 in his first 3 fights.

    Bernard Hopkins got beat on his pro debut. Guess a start doesn't get much worse. And we all know where he's at now. Ha.

    Henry Armstrong too but back then it was acceptable to be human and suffer a few defeats.

    Freddie Pendleton was the best one I could think of, good call ICB. He didn't just get off to a poor start then find his winning ways, he lost a lot of fights all the way through but had a lot of tools. Bit like an Emmanuel Augustus I'd say, only clearly better and was consistently very good during his peak, win or lose. Had some fun fights to watch. I don't know offhand how many fights Baldomir lost before he upset Judah, but he's about as unlikely a champion as you can find; although really he just cashed in on Judah being a basketcase and wasn't very good.

    Yea Freddie Pendleton was very good in his prime, he reminded me of Junior Jones style wise. His performances against Ruelas, Lopez, Whitaker, Mayweather, Randall, Bramble, Paez, Trice, showed he was world class.

    He has got to have one of the most misleading record's of all time, because at first glance his record suggests he's just a journeyman. When infact he's former world champion who beat alot former world champions in there prime.
