    Default Boxer you liked but didn't made it!

    Bo hogberg was one of the boxer which i really like, which i don't think got the real shot at boxing.

    Bo Hogberg learned to box while growing up in a working-class neighborhood in Gothenburg, Sweden. Winning his first national amateur championship at the age of eighteen, while compiling an amateur record of 60-12 (45 KO's). During his professional career, Hogberg, would hold the European Light Middleweight Title, and compile a career record 36-6-1 (24 KOs). Hogberg was a controversial figure outside of the ring, known for his flamboyant lifestyle, which included fast cars, liquor, and women. His career would end, temporarilly, in 1967, after a prison sentence. He would return in 1970, and lose all three of his comeback fights. His unsavory reputation, may have played apart in politicians decision to ban professional boxing in Sweden in 1970. Hogberg died of cancer, after having suffered a stroke, a few years before.

    Another one i liked was Ingemar Johansson, He had a few good fights with Floyd Patterson, Eddie Machen, Joe Erskine, Joe Bygraves, Dick Richardson and Henry cooper.

    Ji hoon Kim- Ji is a family friend so I got to know this dude in the mid 2000s and became a part of his team.. Ji is one of the downest guys I know on the streets .. he used to be the top streetfighter in high school but deep inside, I feared that he would take a lot of beating in the pros.. he just didnt have the proper foundation as a boxer and his trainer sucked. U know what though, for a time being, he was a straight up wrecking machine and dude made me proud.. if I were to get into a rumble on the streets against any number of foes, I just need Ji by my side and we would fuck up any group.. no doubt about that.

    Marvin Quintero- to those of u who dont know, Quintero is a LW from Tijuana and one of the most, offensively skilled fighters out there.. when he was coming up as a prospect, he showed glimpse of a young marco antonio barrera and I thought he woukd go places.. but just like some fighters, bad luck never seems to escape him... sort of like Eric Hunter... he has all the physical tools and due is exciting as fuck but for some odd reason, he loses to oppoe0nents he shouldnt be losing to... or he might lead on the cards then all of a sudden, he suffers a freak accident.. he has very bad luck but just take a look at his fights from few years ago and youll see what he's about..

    JI hoon and quintero are still young though and they still have a chance...

    Kendall Holt- kendall is a former champion whose been there and done that so he probably doesnt belong in this discussion but with his talents, he could have accomplished a lot more.. ive always liked holt..

    Herol Graham and Oba Carr also Yori Boy Campus. they all had different styles and thought they were special and world class.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    Cecilio Espino was one of the first guys I saw pushed out of the La Forum and loved his style. But once he was beat by a 50-50 guy and Camputatro broke a record landing shots on him in a ESPN war, things were clear

    Charles Brewer. Well he did 'make' it I guess but THIS dude was fun tv. The literal live by the sword or die by the sword

    Urbano Antillon....just *poof*

    Im going to excuse your spelling because you are Swedish.


    ---


    Sebastian Lujan - he is still active and only 34. He is one of my all time favourites to watch.

    He came close a few times but never managed the world title.

    Exciting fighter to watch, never takes a backwards step and throws a lot of punches. He has a solid defence also, so much head movement it's unreal.


    Has stopped prospects in the past and really deserves to be a bit more known.

    Unfortunately he'll likely always be remembered for his world title fight with Antonio Margarito when about a quarter of his ear was tore from his head.

    Which is ashame for a fighter deserving of so much more.
    You say tomato,
    ‘n I say …… it correctly.

    I was a fan of the following -

    Harold "The Shadow " Knight.- lost to Rocky Lockridge.
    Engels Pedroza.- ko king who wasn't quite world class.
    Tony "SIBBO" Sibson.- lost to Marvin Hagler and Frank Tate.

    For me, it's Eric Crumble.
    He tore his way to 31 fights, 31 KOs, all in first 2 rounds.
    Unfortunately though he lost them all.
