Davey Price was favoured in all his fights until his 5th KO loss!
Who else lost a bunch as fave in recent decades, and also does anyone beat Price for most losses as favourite before first lost as underdog?

Yes, wasn't he favourite vs Lewis also.
Think Sugar Ray Leonard might have been favourite every time he lost - although not sure if he was vs Norris - he was vs Camacho.

I think Benn was favourite in his losses to Watson, Eubank and Malinga. Not sure about his fights with Collins.

Arturo Gatti was a huge favourite against Baldomir. I made a killing from that.

Wasn't Pac a favourite going into all his losses except Floyd?
Maybe I'm too much of a fanboy to see reality

Could imagine he was the favourite for most of his fights he lost except Mayweather.

AJ was a narrow favourite, in the UK anyway.
But Wlad was the name I thought of when I saw the thread subject.
Great career, but with upset losses at the beginning, middle and end of it.
