Deceptive Records

Post by Gnome »

Which boxer's record looks fantastic, but he is in fact a cack boxer?

Whose record makes him look hopeless, but he is in fact a very dangerous opponent?

He's obviously a very, very long way away from being cack, but Calzaghe's record is often brought up in arguments about his legacy, as though spending ten years and fighting nobody better than Robin Reid is some sort of evidence of greatness.

Samson Dutch Boy Gym was always the shout for a fantastic record on paper who fought pretty much nobody of note. Looking him up I see he had a fight where he was called Samson Toyota Thailand. :lol:

This bloke impressed me today. He has a losing record but gave Robin Krasniqi hell. Great fight.

Derrick FIndley - 27-22-1

http://boxrec.com/en/boxer/335060

Darnell Boone - 23-24-4

http://boxrec.com/en/boxer/255010

Findley is much better than his record suggest but Boone is a proper bloody enigma. Only 12 kayoes in 51 bouts but he's stopped Adonis Stevenson in 2 & had Andre Ward on the floor. Also pushed multiple other top (by todays standards) fighters to the limit in distance fights.

Another one that's going now that fits right in with those 2 guys.

There's a lot of guys out there with great looking records that have been matched very soft. The thing with those guys is you really don't know just how far below the World Class level they are until someone actually throws them in there with those guys.

A good example was just last night. Habib Ahmed. 22-0-1...great looking record, but he hadn't fought nobody, then he gets a shot at Zurdo Ramirez. As we saw he was hopelessly overmatched, and really had no shot in the fight.

Yep. It's not a fool proof system, but a lot of the time if you have a visiting fighter who has a gawdy record, but it's been built against weak opposition, chances are good he's not gonna be particularly formidable.

Not seen his other fights, but this guy despite a pretty awful looking record looked alright vs McGoldrick, not a pretty style, but I think he deserved the win.

Ryan Clark

Think he only won 5 (without checking).

Who was the argie (I think) light welter (I think) with the ‘impressive’ record with next to no KOs? Cuenca????

Arnold Gjergjaj 29-0 before Haye.

I think Kamil Sokolowski and Glen Johnson are both better than their records suggests.

Tyrone Spong is actually a ver reasonable boxer, but sadly he only fight bums, now once again he's scheduled with some average cruiserweight guy, I'm strongly disappointed in him again.

Werner Kreiskott, heavyweight top 100, despite 19 loses.
Takam, 4 loses, but still a top 10 heavyweight imo.
Chisora, 8 loses, but still a top 30 heavyweight imo.
Joey Abell, 9 loses, but still a top 100 heavyweight imo.

Well, I used to really like him actually, but every single time he's fighting guys that have absolutely no chance against him, he's starting to become a Deontay Wilder the 2nd, he even got ranked by the WBC recently.
