What Fighter Has Suceeded the Most with Limited Ability?

[7001]

I would have to say Ruiz. He has hugged his way through his career. One thing I will say about Ruiz, he will fight anybody at anytime. He doesn't dodge anyone. But as far as talent, IMO he should have never held a title, let alone regaining it twice.

hes blatantly dodging james toney.

anytime? well, seeing as how hes never had more than 2 fights a year since 1999 and more than 3 fights since 1996, i wouldnt say "anytime".

i have no respect for john the bum ruiz. but hes probly accomplished more than anybody else with such limited skill.

sidenote: many many people are underrating rocky marciano's skill.

Most HW's are only fighting once or twice a year anyway. Especially the belt holders. Most of the belt holders are only fighting once a year. Example Byrd. I agree, he has accomplished the most with little to no skill.

[Easy-E]

thats true.

yeah, arturo gatti proved that

thats one of many things i hate about boxing today, too much inactivity and too many people accustomed to it.

jack britton was a multi time welterweight champion around teh 1910s to 1920s, in a 25 year career jack had participated in approx 347 professional fights and he died at the healthy age of 76 in 1962. he is just one of many fighters who had their number of bouts in the triple digits.

how i do miss the good old days. remember when fighters were honorable sportsmen who loved to fight?... yeah, me neither.

I'd have to say Holyfield. Holyfield was never supposed to be an effective heavyweight. When he made the jump from cruiser back in the late 80's, most thought he lacked the power skill to suceed at heavyweight. Even after he beat douglas no one wanted to give him his due. It didn't help that he turned in poor performances against Cooper and Foreman. That only added fuel to the fire. After he lost to Bowe, people just sort of wrote him off as a sorry chapter in heavyweight history, until he regained the title in their rematch. He actually peaked in the late 90s after beating Tyson. He lacked the power and speed to be a dominating champion, but had a great run.... By the way Ruiz sucks and hasn't accomplished anything (I don't recognize his title as legit) so he doesn't even enter the equation.

[Upper Cut]

Valuev, Mesi, Mayorga, Trinidad, Morales, Rahman, the list is very wrong...

Yes they are.

[masterdirector]

Mayorga has to be on that list for sure. Mickey Ward. Castillo. Ruiz and Brewster both belong too. Floyd Mayweather Jr.
