Fighters with surprisigly good wins on their records

[mahatma]

Just looking through the records and saw that Robbie Simms Haglers half brother had wins against Duran ( which i knew) but also Iran Barklay and Doug De Witt, as well as a draw with Murray Sutherland, before he was ko'd in seven by Nigel Benn!

[orbtastic]

From memory, he KO'd Barkley, which very few people managed.

Kirkland Laing

Mark Wills....

He beat Greg Page (twice) and Derek Williams.

The second page fight had the best one punch knockout I have ever seen.

Joe Frazier's son Marvis. Although being blasted out inside a round by Tyson and Holmes in world title fights he beat unbeaten James Broad,Joe Bugner,Jose Ribalta and Bonecrusher Smith. As an amateur I seem to remember reading he beat Tim Witherspoon aswell. During his pro career 17 out of his 21 fights were against fighters with winning records, not many (if any) non journeyman boxers could say that.

Oliver McCall apart from the obvious one with Lennox Lewis he scored wins in his career over

Francesco Damiani a former WBO title holder.
Knocked out Oleg Maskaev early in his career well before Maskaev became WBC champion

Also David Tua as well
Bombed out John Ruiz in 19 seconds.
Stopped Maskaev in 11 rounds
Knocked out Hasim Rahman before Rahman became world champ

Karl Taylor's win over The Rose of Soweto is a stand out win for me.

I love that one..... Geoff mcreesh did it too

[ed robinson]

Tony Booth lost more than 100 times but beat Omar Sheika, Bruce Scott, Tony Wilson and Dominic Negus, also got a draw in Germany against Ralf Rochigiani.

Montell Griffin was a class act but not as good as back to back wins over James Toney and Roy Jones made him appear.

[Old bones Ian]

Jorge Vaca has wins over Pipino Cuevas, Lloyd Honeyghan, Mark Breland, Quincy Taylor.

which sounds great, but he also lost by KO 21 times

[Spiker]

Kirkland Laing

Yes This. That was the first person that sprung to mind when i saw this post.
The guy beats Duran then afterwards you knever knew what he was even thinking in the ring lol. He was so unpredictable. To mellow for his own good!

[stujones]

Tony Booth was the name that sprung to my mind also Ed.

Among Miguel Matthews 15 wins in 100 fights was two time world champion Scott Harrison. He also drew with Commonwealth Champion Alex Moon.

[mahatma]

ok thought of couple more domestically Paul Burke beat pat barrett, billy schwer, eammon magee - didnt know about miguel matthews beating scott harrison that one had passed me by
julius francis fought everyone at heavyweight and despite losing each time at world level beat welch,oyebola,williams,holden each at some stage a british champion

I'm actually suprised Tua didn't become world champion. You forgot Moorer in a round as well.

[gasman]

Paul Brown's third round stoppage of Joe Bugner in their first fight and on Bugner's pro debut.

[Datsue]

Jorge Vaca has wins over Pipino Cuevas, Lloyd Honeyghan, Mark Breland, Quincy Taylor.

which sounds great, but he also lost by KO 21 times

Wow, that is some victim list though, isn't it?

[DavidPayne]

Miguel beat Harrison on a cut didn't he?

Tony Booth was the first name to my mind too.

At that end of the food-chain....

Luke Simpkin 11-31-3 has wins over Dave Ferguson, Fola Okesola and draws with Julius Francis and Pele Reid.

[iamasadlittleboy]

Jorge Vaca has wins over Pipino Cuevas, Lloyd Honeyghan, Mark Breland, Quincy Taylor.

Wow, that is some victim list though, isn't it?

Also worth adding Saoul Mamby to his victims list (admittedly Mamby was 40)

[Old bones Ian]

Peter Eubank beat Barry McGuigan, Mo Hussain (cuts) and even Joe Frazier!!

ok it was Joe Frazier Jnr :)

I'm actually suprised Tua didn't become world champion. You forgot Moorer in a round as well.

But it is was after Moorer was a World Champion which is why I did not mention it when I was mentioning Tua.

[Bleak]

Miguel beat Harrison on a cut didn't he?

Tony Booth was the first name to my mind too.

At that end of the food-chain....

Luke Simpkin 11-31-3 has wins over Dave Ferguson, Fola Okesola and draws with Julius Francis and Pele Reid.

Didnt Simpkin often go as an away fighter anyway?

[Craig14]

Langers I'm saying the subject is Fighters with surprisingly good wins on there record.
Are you surprised Tua beat Rahman,Maskaev and Ruiz? I'm not he was better than all 3.

[Jon Saxon]

Mark Wills....

He beat Greg Page (twice) and Derek Williams.

The second page fight had the best one punch knockout I have ever seen.

Hey Keith I saw both Page, willis fights and you are right he absoloutley flattened him, it was the same in the first fight.

[BigEars]

Carlos Maussa and his 7th round stoppage of Vivian Harris to win the WBA Light-Welterweight title.
The only sort of half decent wins he had other than that was a split decision win over Japanese fighter Masakazu Satake on away soil and a 6th round stoppage of Jeffrey Resto, neither fighter of whom were really in the same calibre as Harris.

It was a major shock at the time, and of course as we all know resulted in a big unification fight with IBF (and lineal) champion Ricky Hatton.
