When a fighter is never going to be Elite, but you can't help but be a fan?

tank davis he ducks all the best and only fights tiny guys but he will go down undefeated and fool some of the idiots into believing he's elite because of that

Jamel Herring Tevin Farmer Antonio Orozco Yunier Dorticos Maybe that’s a little harsh on Dorticos who’s a bit of a badass.

I'll give you JJ...barely. The rest, nah. They were usually a combo away from catching that L. Imho :ugh: Chico Corrales was P4P top 5 before fighting Floyd and held multiple world titles through his career. That includes the lineal championship at lightweight at some point and was constantly ranked top 3 at SFW and LW. I don't see how that isn't elite.

Probably Gabe Rosado.

Favorite Flawed Fu cks - Definitely Gatti. Corrales M Grant Golota Julian Jackson I'd say that Corrales, Golota, and Jackson were all elite at some point. Top 3-5 in a division and/or grabbing a strap definitely makes somebody elite. Can't just limit the scale to being a top 10 P4P fighter.

I like Oscar Valdez today, he's borderline elite and could improve, but you get the feeling he's just a tough kid.

Joe Joyce. You seldom find such a rejuvenating, charismatic & high energy personality. His words flow like pearls on a necklace, and his smile can bring any woman to her knees. Reminds me of a young Muhammad Ali. https://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2016/08/07/01/34CD07F100000578-3727417-Joyce_fancies_being_an_actor_and_auditioned_for_a_role_in_Spectr-a-54_1470528826746.jpg

For me it was the Magic Man Paulie Mallinagi.

I'll start. Sakio Bika Arturo Gatti Daniel Ponce De Leon David Price Also, debatable on whether he was Elite or not: Danny Williams What does your list look like? Hassan N'Dam N'Jikam Ted Cheeseman (I got a library of Cheese related puns) Tony Bellew Avtandil Khurtsidze Sergei Khomitski (or however they're transliterating it these days) Darnell 'Deezol' Boone Josh Warrington's a grower too, though he's already overachieved in my book, which is what made me a fan and maybe Maurice Hooker - massive fan and he's good, but too early to say elite or no. I think he gets smashed by Taylor and Prograis, but I like him no less for it. Damn, man... that's just the first few that spring to mind, but the list is endless. There's a ****-ton of fighters I really like who ain't never gonna go down in the annals.

Deontay Wilder. :)

Brandon Rios He’s one of my favourite fighters He doesn’t possess 1 attribute that would be considered elite except balls and heart although I think his inside game and overall skill set is underrated he’s been able to make good $ and have a good career in the sport and be considered a overachiever with his skill set Won a strap , landed a PPV against PAC , fought some of the best WWs of his era , Had a fan friendly wicked trilogy with Alvarado which were f.ucking wars and got some Ws against fighters you’d think he’d lose to. Not bad for a fighter everyone calls a punching bag I’m also a fan of Rosado , Vanes , Josesito Lopez, Benavidez Jr probably a couple more names if I thought about it Sometimes you gotta cheer for the underdogs
