Best fighters today with 10 or more losses?

Post by Las Vegas boxing guy »

Gabriel Rosado's (26-13-1, 15 KO's) record is very deceptive in my estimation.

Can anyone here name other current boxers with 10 or more losses that could/should be considered as a risky opponent?

I would have to agree. He is a fighter who always loses to the upper echelon but he gives them all a tough go

According to BoxRec:

• Dereck Chisora
• Gabriel Rosado
• Miguel Roman
• Rene Alvarado
• Miguel Vazquez
• Tomas Rojas
• Kiko Martinez

There’s a lot more decent(ish) fighters with seven or more losses though.

There is so much emphasis on undefeated records that I have to remind people from time to time that many of the all-time great champions had double digit losses.

I would be more concerned fighting a top-level guy with multiple losses then I would be someone with an undefeated record at the top level because the man who has lost and still remains a top level guy is a bigger threat than a man who has never known defeat more times than not.

I'm reminded of guys like Bert Cooper when I was a kid who had multiple losses but could still give somebody like Evander Holyfield one hell of a fight.

There could be and should be a separate thread on boxers with unimpressive records,who scored an impressive victory or gave a top 10 boxer,or highly regarded prospect, a rough day,or tough night.

Boxers like Ben Serrano,Terrible Teddy Sanders,Marion Wilson,Emmanuel Augustus,Willie Salazar,Lionel Butler,Maurice Harris,Rudy Barro,Tiger Ted Lowrey,Fritzie Zivic,Lew Jenkins,and James Braddock spring to mind. Alot of others too,that I remember boxing,but I don't remember They're names.

I saw this one boxer on this site,he had a career record of 10-85-5,but he used to go the distance with fringe contenders and quite often. He usually fought bouts that were less than 10 rounds. Can't remember his name unfortunately. It's always so easy to remember Reggie Strickland though. He went something like 55-264-10 ? If I remember correctly..? Also,I think he wasn't ko'd or tko'd for a streak of 80 or more bouts,during a certain time-span.

I could definitely see some veteran developed Midwestern boxer arising :bag: :box: ,With a record of 75-35-8,eventually onto scoring a shocking upset victory over one of these PrimaDonna's, with they're daily blabby blabbering. Flaunting they're proficiently annoying trash talk skills for YouTube viewers to Marvel at... :roll:

Can't add to anything to those already mentioned, but Emmanuel Augustus was a talented guy who, when on form, gave anyone a good fight. Mayweather considered him as one of his toughest opponents.

I can remember Buck Smith derailing a Kirkland Laing comeback with one left hook.

Just watched the highlights above. I didn't like that ref stoppage. Laing was healthy to keep going.

Strange thread sidetrack ... Buck was 33-2 at the time of this victory. True, he finished with 20 career losses ... and 182 wins.

I never realised his record was 33-2 at the time of the Laing fight (I never fully watched the highlights I posted). My memory was getting mixed up with his end career recognition as a guy who'd travel from one fight to another in the US living in his car and picking up paychecks. I assumed he was further on in his career vs Laing and brought over to provide a workout but nothing more.
His record includes 5 wins over Rob Bleakley and 5 wins over Reggie Strickland. He probably fought those guys more than that, as they were known to fight under different names just a few days after havibg a bout in order to avoid suspensions.

Doesn't address the question, but I think Glen Johnson had over 10 losses when he beat Target to become the #1 at LHW and a legit P4P top 20 fighter.

Brian Vera is still boxing. He's going to be taking on a bellator fighter in a 7 round boxing match.
Vera has well over 10 losses. He's still very tough though.
He fought Andy Lee twice. Tko'd Lee in they're first bout. Lost the rematch by a decision.
