Adrien Broner : Having faced both Julio Diaz and Adrien Broner, Shawn Porter recently said that Diaz is a much tougher fighter than Broner. Since many don't rate Diaz above B level, perhaps it's fair to say Broner is C level? Many see Broner actually losing 5 fights but getting gifts from the judges on 3 of those.
Andre Berto : Lost to Victor Ortiz, who was knocked out by Khan in 2 rounds as an amateur. Ortiz was also stopped by Maidana and even Josesito Lopez as a pro and surprisingly even Mayweather was able to stop Ortiz, although with the assistance of a premeditated suckerpunch.
Saul Alvarez: Although Alvarez has fought some very good opposition for his age, some believe he has lost more fights than his record suggests.
Shawn Porter : Got a draw with Julio Diaz in his first fight, although many thought Diaz won easily. Since many don't rate Diaz above B level, perhaps Porter should be categorized in the same way? Porter also lost a razor close fight to B level fighter Kell Brook and won a highly controversial decision against Alexander, which most people thought he clearly lost.
Artur Abraham: Lost against every A-level fighter he's been in with but some of his supporters have recently claimed that Abraham might be competitive against Degale. Wishful thinking for an overrated fighter?
Kell Brook : With only a single half-respectable opponent (Porter) on his entire record of 35 fights, Brook is in desperate need of fighting decent opponents but he seems to very regularly back out of fights once contracts are signed or during negotiations (as seen recently with Rios, Chaves and Alexander to name a few).
James Kirkland : Perhaps goes without saying at this point. At one time a highly touted prospect but it seems Kirkland just hasn't got what it takes to be higher than C level.
Deontay Wilder: Although Wilder looked terrific against Stiverne, it's now been revealed that Stiverne made a cataclysmic mistake during training camp by firing his nutritionist and eating very poorly. Would Wilder have beaten a 100% Stiverne?
Vasyl Lomachenko: With typical network hype, HBO recently labelled Lomenchenko as possibly the p4p number 1 fighter even though he lost to Salido, a fighter with 12 loses.
Floyd Mayweather Jr : Very publicly ducked Amir Khan 4 times and astonishingly hasn't fought an elite fighter in their prime (without weight-draining) for 15 years since Corrales! Is his entire record an elaborate illusion concealing a much lower level fighter than we thought and is this the reason he continuously backed away from the Khan fight?
