    The not needed club

    Here in the UK we have the expression "he's in the who needs him club".
    Typically for fighters who the risk outweighs the reward.
    So I want to know who are yours?

    Obvious choices are GGG and Andre Ward but there must be lots more out there.

        I'm not sure Kovalev is being ducked by anyone besides Stevenson?
        Correct me if i'm wrong.

          Also I think Frampton might fancy Rigo once he has a belt...?

            Stevenson, Pascal, Ward, Braehmer, Dawson...none of them are lining up to fight him.

            Add Thurman to your list.

              Uhhh I dont think this is what TS was talking about. Rigo IS the best. He brings in multiple belts. So there's a HUGE reward in beating him. Maybe not financially but theres a big reward if you beat him.

              I think better examples are Lara and Herrera (more than Lara), like Golovkin pointed out. At least Lara is a champion. Herrera on the other hand, hes a nobody. Hes a dangerous smart fighter who brings NOTHING. No belt, no money, no fan base.

              Ward is also a bad example. He, just like Rigo, is a lineal and P4P champion. GGG is borderline cause he's getting real popular so he's starting to bring in a fan base and numbers plus a belt.

                Fair enough. I'm not sure Ward should be in that list and not say Froch...

                  Not seen any Herrera, can anyone recommend any good fights to watch?

                    Herrera vs Danny Garcia. Score the fight and come back to this thread.
