Slightly different one here in that he dines out on no results as he hasn’t had a single impressive win.
Harsh but true.

Not a result but Dillian Whyte sure made hay out of hurting Joshua with a left hook in a round he still lost

I’d imagine Meldrick Taylor dines out on having written the greatest book ever that only we appreciate.

He squeezed through to win the Brit title, now that looks a better result than his inter continental success

If he's dining out on it he's in a gastro pub.

Shame he can't get it together, he's clearly talented. Fought around 6 months ago and weighed in above super-middle so you could tell he wasn't bothered.

Beat an ageing Tsyu,.

Stepped up twice and got schooled both times

Castillo was passed it, squeezed past Collazo, Malinagi, Maussa.

It aint great
Fair play on Tszyu been past his prime.

Thought Collazo probably deserved the decision in that fight too.

Wouldn't say he squeezed by Maussa or Malignaggi.
Wasn't Mallinagi so one sided the corner stopped it?
The squeezed was in relation to Collazo only 😁

Point being, what are his best wins

Oddly Rocky Marciano is more rembered for the win over an ancient Joe Louis, than any of his world title fights. I mean he wasn't dining out on the Louis win, but that's the fight people remember

It isn't. Jersey Joe Walcott in my opinion.

I was going to say Cooper too. Almost every interview with Henry made reference to the knockdown and the supposed torn glove and 5 minute break that saved Ali, which of course we all know never happened. I'm not sure if Henry actually believed that part or not but why let the truth get in the way of a good story.

Probably a little harsh but Lee Selby had many (including me) convinced he was the welsh Mayweather after the Gradovich fight. Rest of his career was just pretty underwhelming from that point on.
