Has any fighter won more fights he was an underdog for, than Crolla?

[thepocketrocket]

If you look at Crolla's record, it is insane

Kieran Farrell (I'm sure Farrell was the fave)

Andy Morris - Morris the fave

Mathews 2 - Mathews fave

Gavin Rees - Rees fave

John Murray - Murray fave

Perez one - Perez fave, and Crolla should have got it

Perez two Not sure on the odds, but on here, most thought Crolla had missed his chance.

Barrios - Barrios fave

Who says he can't do it against Linares?

[Stuarty]

Ovil McKenzie maybe? Orlando Salido has overcome the odds a good few times.

[forestbox]

Froch was underdog and written off alot

[littlepug]

Steve robinson

[Tangerine]

maybe not an underdog but always seemed to prove me wrong time and time again-Ricky Burns.lost loads of money betting against him.Crolla seems to be the new Burns..

[Rexob]

Froch was underdog and written off alot

Yes, in most of his world title fights most people wrote him off, proved us all wrong in the end

[crusader]

Crolla is a good mention, although he didn't beat Matthews and I think he was the favourite for the Perez rematch. I'd also be surprised if he were an underdog against very untested Farrell, who looked like an area level guy to me. Isn't he a slight favorite against Linares by the way?

Hopkins was a dog at points against Tito, Pavlik, Tarver, Pascal, and Cloud.

[crusader]

Froch won three fights as an underdog if I recall correctly, and he was only a very slight one against Bute.

[Neil Gee]

Sam Eggington won a succession of fights as underdog before finally overreaching himself against Bradley Skeete

Farrell was the man on the up....Crolla looked sub -British level, and his stock was low.

I thought Linares was the fave...I am gonna check that...you are likely right mate

Mckenzie is a good shout. I've listed a few below where he was an underdog, but I'm sure there are more.

Dickinson
Conquest
Maccarinelli
Dunstan
Corbett
Haymer
Fry
Spartacus

Unfortunately he didn't get the win in that one, merely a respectable draw.

[Terry Dooley]

Crolla was favourite going in against Farrell; he was off-form, but had faced better opposition.

Got to love this guy.

Boxing world "let's show the world how PC boxing is, Who can we get as the fall guy, for our first gay world champion?"
Orlando Salido "Eh, don't fornicating think so pal!"

Boxing world "lets make some headlines, who can we get as the fall guy for our quickest ever world champion and supremely skillful amateur star and future p4per?"
Orlando Salido "here you ya prick, ah've already telt you aboot this!"

[Counter-puncher]

Like a datsue post in a Scottish accent

[crusader]

Salido was a 4-1/5-1 favorite against Cruz. Obviously the attention was mainly on Cruz, but I don't think there was widespread delusion about his ability.

Incidentally, I loved his wins over JuanMa Lopez. I jumped off my chair when dropped him in the first bout, and I think those fights ended up ruining Lopez.
