Fighters with the worst padded resume?

[Enlightened-One]

Chris Eubank Jr’s opponent this weekend is a man that goes by the name of Marcus Morrison.

Superficially speaking, his resume is impressive. 26 fights, 23 wins, with 16 KO’s. He’s also held the WBC’s international silver title on several occasions.

However, when I scratch the surface, I suddenly realised that Morrison’s record is padded to almost astonishingly bad proportions.

For instance, he’s on a seven-fight winning streak, but the fighters he defeated during those fights had previously suffered a combined total of 215 losses, which equates to a 23% win ratio (65 wins spanning 283 bouts).

And these stats pretty much reflect Marcus Morrison’s entire career (i.e. 26 opponents in total failing to win 528 fights, equating to a paltry 35% win-rate).

They're far are worse than Mark De Mori's, Arnold Gjergjaj's and Christopher Lovejoy's. And that's saying something!

Can you think of a fighter that has an even worse padded resume than Marcus Morrison’s?

Tyson Fury ... Using nandaralone to win a title decision and excusing his fat ass to hide from a rematch ...History tells it in future, but now boxing sport needs him to make money of new stupid boxing fans of this generation

Are you on crack. Tyson fought the rematch. In my opinion he shouldn’t have fought the first time against wilder as he didn’t fight any decent opponents before but his natural talent and style made it extremely competitive.

FFS! They're shockingly appalling records!

Do you have database access to run queries or something like that, because apart from Campas, I'm not familiar with the other guys?

No ... You are on crack , you know i'm talking about Wald fight. This is why neither Klitchkos nor Lennox Lewis give Fury
Any respect or care when or who he is going to fight . You can't escape a rematch, and say i'm addict, i'm fat ...Blahh Blahh who cares !!

Buck Smith was a decent enough journeyman in his day. Travelled from fight to fight living in his car, sometimes fighting 1 fight a night after another, 12 fights in one month as well. He had some decent names on his record, and I can remember the time he came over to the UK and laid out Kirkland Laing live on BBC just as Laing was beginning to build a bit of momentum and get busy again.
I notice he has the former biggest loser (most losses) Reggie Strickland, on his record a few times as well. I was just reading an article about him the other day. These guys serve their purpose although I do also notice the horrific name of Jorge Kahwagi (he of fake biceps, shoulders and tits implants fame) on Buck's record as well.

Sorry, but this guy's fake shoulders just remind me of Tommy Fury and his coat hanger spread.

Slightly off topic but not so much so...

Back in the day when I had Evander Holyfield's Championship Boxing for the SEGA Genesis, I became the world Heavyweight champion by beating Holyfield by split decision in twelve rounds on the career mode.

You could have up to two boxers at a time, so my brother built up his own fighter in order to challenge me and he started raking up win after win....after a few days even I was excited about our upcoming match and I had doubts I could win it.

Anyways, he got so like 30-0 with all 30 by ko before we matched with my title on the line.

I dropped him 6 times on the way to a third round TKO.

Turns out, he had built his record against weaker boxers that I had already beaten on my way up, and in that game, when you beat a weaker fighter, your record went up but your powers and ability down...

So my brother's record was padded. He ended up suffering because of that..

Me? That was my last successful defense. Holyfield asked for a rematch and he beat me by split decision this time. A third fight saw him stop me in five IIRC. It all went downward for me after that and I promptly retired. BUT, I was the world Heavyweight champion and had wins over Holyfield.... and over my brother!!!!

cool headed commentator for smith-laing, these days adam smith or nick halling would be screaming by round 2 for it to be stopped, what a masterclass, etc

I used to love that game. That and Muhammad Ali's boxing for the Genesis/Megadrive where the fighter's faces would get more and more damaged, making the noise like a wet slab of meat getting squished with each punch landing. I used to think the intro part where the camera flew in over the Vegas strip was amazing graphics.

I remember a young Gallagher trained Morrison getting a little bit of hype from sky, going on to get out worked by Welborn in his first step into domestic level before going off the radar somewhat.

By the time I saw him again he had another 2 loses to journeymen (including one to YouTube also ran Tyan Booth).

But he did beat Blandamura in Italy not long back, so he must still have something about him.

Eubank will make easy work of him next week no doubt, he is the kind of opponent Junior tends to look great against.

Does anyone remember that Yemeni guy?

Ali Ramyi or something?

He was like 20 (20)-0, most of his opponents were undefeated but had only fought debitants or 1-0 type guys.

All very bizarre.

No I'm just a boxing degenerate. The Thai dude appeared on my radar when he fought Azizbek Abdugofurov. FYI I noticed Boxrec added 3 wins from years ago to Sirimongkhon's resume recently so God knows how many more tourists/wannabe Muay Thai guys he laid out.

Yes he died in an explosion/airstrike in 2015 what a legend.

[KiwiRider]

Can't wait to hear the British commentary team talking Morrison up during the ring walk.
"Very dangerous"
"On a definite winning streak"

You've never heard of Sirimongkol Singwancha? Former 2-weight world champion, had a FOTY contender with Joichiro Tatsuyoshi, won the WBC Super Featherweight title after Floyd vacated, holds very good wins over Thanomsak Sithbaobay, Jose Luis Bueno, Victor Rabanales, Yong Soo Choi, Michael Clark fought Jesus Chavez, got into trouble with Thai authorities for drugs and for a gay photoshoot in Thailand

Seriously his life and career is crazy, and boxrec have removed one recent loss from his record due to issues with the boxing board or something in Tanzania.

This guys career is far worse (Noknoi Sitthiprasert) he's fought literally 3 fighters of note (Ioka, Pael and Horikawa)
https://boxrec.com/en/proboxer/283941

Alexander Bajawa (https://boxrec.com/en/proboxer/197640) was also padded to hell until very recently

After 35 fights Vicky Tahumil's team matched him interestingly (https://boxrec.com/en/proboxer/108608) 4 of his last 5 were future or former world champions

Me too! I remember also the chanting of "Ali! Ali!" lol...and Knockout Kings...ah those were the days..

Anyways....

Let's see.......Three of my favorite boxers had somewhat padded records....Wilfredo Gomez, Julio Cesar Chavez Sr. and Roberto Duran. Yes, they fought all the beasts, but they also fought guys like Eladio Santana (0-1, Gomez), Roberto Collins Lindo (2-15, Chavez) and Jorge Suero(0-1, Duran) after winning world titles.

Everyone deserves an easy one from time to time but come on! Those fights serve as record-padding fights too

[joshj909]

Prior to their losses in the past few years, the HW records that caught my eye were:
- Fabio Maldonado 26-4 (was 26-0) lots of debuts and inexperienced guys. 21 had 2 or less wins.
Francisco Silvens 23-2 (was 23-0) opponents combined record is 26-249 I think, I lost count. 17 of them had not recorded a win.

[gregregegg]

I wonder what the going rate for an absolute garrenteed win welter weight is... I dont understand how someone can afford to fight 100 just rank cans, surely that comes at a cost. some of them are just bashing a can once a week...

To be fair most haven't even heard of Pongsaklek Wonjongkam. Buakaw Por Pramuk might vaguely ring a bell with some that's usually it.

Some of those guys could even be in the IBHOF based on record alone. I remember Singwancha and Wonjongkam but not the rest. TBH their name is not easy to remember for a lot of us either.
