Who is the most overachieving boxer ever?

[abadger]

Which boxer do you think achieved the most in terms of his career with the least in terms of ability, and how do you think they did it?

Did they pick and choose fights, have incredible heart, or were they just lucky?

Please don't just flame some boxer you hate, considered opinions please!

EDIT: Current or all time, its up to you.

[The Hammer]

Ricky Hatton.

Lots of heart, small with not much talent.

[12th Round KO]

he does have a mean body shot tho

[Xyei]

Current or all time?

Rocky Marciano-all time

Currently, Pavlik is a bit limited in the skills department but he is a tough mofo and makes up in heart what he lacks in skill

[Mr. Philadel]

B-Hop! no REAL amateur background, ex-con, lost his first fight! Now a for sure Hall of Famer! he over-acheived!

[abadger]

Ricky Hatton.

Lots of heart, small with not much talent.

I can't agree that Ricky doesn't have much talent, I think that's a fairly shallow and stereotypical viewpoint.

Obviously Hatton isn't a slick boxer, but he is among the most awkward and speedy straight-up pressure fighters I've seen. He has (or had!) excellent footwork and movement throughout most of his career, and I still don't understand why, unless he just got past it, he stopped using that approach and became the clincher we see today.

[Evil_Meat]

man i'd say Lovemore N'Dou, dude is lacking talent but works his ass off and is somehow still around.

[Xyei]

Eddison Miranda.

Kid was left for dead and somehow survived and is a top contender.

Kassim Ouma as well.

[-Hyperion-]

[KingTito]

Miranda and Ouma
