One hit wonders of boxing

[J-Smooth]

margarito...he had a few little good wins than had that huge win over cotto...but than he ran into sugar shane and it was all down hill after that

[Unknown Champ]

Baby Joe Mesi

[BattlingNelson]

Does Randy Turpin qualify as a one-hit wonder?

kirkland laing...

Interesting pick. Laing had major talent that only came to fruition once which was against Roberto Duran.

margarito was actually considered a total monster and the most avoided man in boxing for many many years.


not a one hit wonder by any stretch

Leon Spinks is a good one

I think not. Margarito was an animal back in the day.

Baby Joe Mesi

IMO he doesn't qualify since Mesa had no big wins and never lost a pro fight.

I was listening to some sports radio the other day and they were talking about the ultimate one hit wonders in all of sports. The guys they came up with were pretty lame and I thought the ultimate one hit wonder in ALL OF SPORTS is Buster Douglas for obvious reasons.

This got me thinking, who are some other one hit wonders in boxing? Guys that came out of no where and beat a star, a legend, only to fade away just as quickly as they came to the top.

Akinobu Hiranaka won a shocking one round KO over Edwin Rosario for the WBA 140 pound title in Mexico. He did nothing of note before that, lost his next fight, and never fought again.

i remember when he and antonio diaz fought for the vacant 147 title, i'm a huge diaz bro's fan, and was like "who's this skinny mf'er, easy work" .... man was i wrong. it was after that fight that i knew that margarito's pressure was something out of this world.
