I'm talking about guys who fight, but you feel don't really belong in the sport.

I'll start with Valuev. Valuev is the worst Heavyweight I've ever seen, just awful, but he makes money being a sideshow attraction. Tye Fields is another boxer who is simply not worth a damn. His steroid dealer is happy though.

My least favorite is Paulie Malignaggi, I'd say he doesn't belong in the sport, but he's too quick and has too good of footwork to really say that. Plus, he can take a good beating.

blasphemy..tye fields is god

Perhaps David Haye?

He prefers to make cartoons than to box...

Roy Jones, Jr. I don't know if he retired after the Hopkins fight, but he really needs to. Perfect example of why you shouldn't just rely on your physical talents - eventually they will fade, and a lot of those fighters are too egotistical to acknowledge it.

Paulie may not have power but the kid has major skills.

Yeah but Roy is just past it. A magnificent boxer in his time.

Just needs to retire now.

I think the thread means boxers who arent cut out to box.

Guys who should never have got into the sport...

paulie shouldn't be a boxer? you should applaud him for being where he is with non-existant punching power.

Say what you want about Valuev (i've done the same, hes fat, slow, has poor....everything) but if I were 7ft and I could make millions boxing I'd do exactly the same.

There can't be many regular jobs for guys who are 300lbs and 7 ft 1

Scott Belshaw. Saw him against Tyson Fury and I think he would be better off not boxing.
