BoxRec

Lots of fighters out there who had a bunch of losses, but when you look closer, their record was deceiving.
They could fight.

Saoul Mamby. 45-34-6
Tough and slick. If you didn’t know what you were doing, he’d make you look bad.

Name some others..

Milo Savage.

Bob Stallings, the 1970s fringe contender. I think he was something like 22-20 when he defeated Earnie Shavers in 1974.

George “Scrap iron” Johnson.
Fought all the baddest heavyweights.
Lost to them but he was a TOUGH guy

Middleweight Sanderline Williams 24-15-1

He beat Dwight Davison
He drew with James Toney

Split decision losses to Nigel Benn, Iran Barkley and Ron Essett

Point losses to Gerald McClellan, James Toney, Herol Graham, Merqui Sosa, Joe Lipsey, Don Lee, Reggie Johnson, Frank Tate, Lonnie Beasley

Stopped just once by Lindell Holmes in 9 rounds on a cut

If you go to the YouTube comment section and watch Emmanuel Augustus videos his rabid internet fanbase (which was likely formed after a short "drunken master" highlight of his went viral) will try to convince you he was an all time great.
