Current Fighters That Might Have Overachieved

[ATG Fighter]

Note: I am not at all saying that these guys are poor fighters. I am just surprised by the wins they have. I wouldn't have expected them to pull out some of the wins they have.



Froch-- I would never have imagine a few years ago Froch would have the resume he has today. Really done well for himself.

Bradley- I think I could have seen a couple of more losses here or there for him other than the Pacquiao 1 which he should clearly have lost a UD.

Garcia-- He's always had it a little tough pulling out the win against good opponents. I am surprised by some of his wins.

Others that you can think of..........

Bernard Hopkins

Bernard Hopkins

Excellent one. One better: Floyd Pretty Boy Mayweather!

And god knows how these guys made a living from boxing:
Paul Malignaggi
Chris Algieri
...
and many of the same ilk!

Canelo Alvarez. He ended up having more skills than I thought as he matured, but he was literally just an 18 year old kid with a fan base who was thrown in our faces at one point...oh and the guy who got got rocked by Cotto's brother. For him to be where he is right now is impressive.

Herrera didn't get the wins but he deserved to win over two fighters that are better fighters than he is. He fought his best fight and they didn't fight their best fight.

Hopkins definitely..

Rocky Marciano

Arturo Gatti

Manny and Floyd as i never thought they would be this huge

Shawn Porter-went from a poster on here to world champion

Froch and Bradley are the very definition of overachievers. Neither of them has or does anything special besides their will to win. Somehow they've found a way a hell of a lot more often than they haven't found a way.

Salido. Started fighting at 15, took many loses early in his career, and ended up making a name for himself knocking out JM Lopez twice in his home town.
