Steve Cunningham, US Navy turned boxer. He's had more injustices in his career than anybody else ever. His true record and resume in my opinion make him the GOAT. Here is a run down of his major listed wins, and the real results of the fights he lost.
Major wins.
Guillermo Jones - Points - Outstanding win against a man mountain. Jones is a beast that Cunningham outskilled.
Kelvin Davis - Fought in three world title eliminators.
Krzysztof Wlodarczyk - Rematch. World class - long time WBC World Champion.
Marco Huck - Future Hall of famer - German Legend.
Wayne Braithwaite - Former WBC World Champion
Troy Ross - Two time IBF World title challenger
Enad Lucina - Former WBC mediterranean Champion
Jason Gavern - Beat Future Hall of Famer James Toney, drew with Jonathan Banks, took Anthony Joshua 3 rounds, beat Harold Sconiers and lost controversial decisions to Gerald Washington and Oleg Maskaev
Amir Mansour - At the time a world class heavyweight.
Natu Visinia - At the time 10-0
As you can see, this is already a great list of wins. Here are the 10 fights he "didn't" win, but did actually win. Officially D1 L9. Reality W10. The breakdown:
1. Krzysztof Wlodarczyk (1st fight) Official result - Krzysztof Wlodarczyk by SD. Real score - 116-112 Cunningham.

great skills and toughness. Alot of great wins for sure, and was outboxing and even dropped Fury in their match! Definitely should have won the second Wlodarczyk fight, the second Adamek fight, Tarver, and Glazkov.
