    Buster wasn't a bum though, he was a contender. He was coming off wins against Oliver McCall, Trevor Berbick and Mike Williams.

      Lewis wasn't showboating...he got pushed into the corner and got caught with a right hand trying to turn out of the corner.

        I dont think losses where the ¨good fighter¨ was absolutely past prime should count

        when you are shot to ****, you cant be considered a ¨good fighter¨ anymore

        He was trying to pull some Sweet Pea defensive moves on the overmatched Rahman, moves that had never been part of his skillset (and almost impossible for a man his size), that's underestimating your opponent and showboating

          Stevenson got KOed by Boone
          Spinks wasn't a bum though. He was an Olympic gold medalist. Plus Ali was past prime. So was Jones.

          Boone is a career journeyman for sure, but I wouldn't call him a bum either. He's proved to be a tough test for many fighters, including Kovalev and Andre Ward.

              I agree that bum is harsh for these guys. A bum to me has a really bad losing record but for this practice its fair to call someone who is 23-22-4 a bum otherwise no one has lost to a true bum.

                Ross Purity over Wladimir Klitschko..... the journeymen of the 90s were so much better.

                  How did he beat them?
                  Balderthal, beat Zab Judah. He beat him with a relentless pursuit and a ton of heart. His primitive skillset and crude boxing, should not have been able to touch Judah.

                      I think it was more down to lewis not being in shape, and not being physically ready to react to his opponent. It was a nice shot and was set up well. Full credit to rahman.
