Some classic examples - I’ve done guys better than their records because saying guys are overrated is the easy thing to do. This shows the importance of having a great promoter behind you, because a lot of these guys suffered in a major way because of a lack of that. Different story if they had a Eddie Hearn or Leonard Ellerbe behind them. Today’s fighters are so blessed when you think about it.
Montell Griffin - Has wins of Toney and Roy Jones Jr. Was winning every round against Michalczewski as well before the controversial stoppage, seemed like a dodgy referee to me. Plus he probably would’ve won another belt if he didn’t get straight robbed against Rico Hoye.
Emanuel Augustus - This one can’t be emphasised enough. This guy was robbed more times than I can count and always gave a great fight even in his losses. Very tough fighter.
Glen Johnson - Kind of a mixture of the other two. Some of his close losses are legit but a lot of them were super close. I’ve seen a lot of them and I might need to refresh but there’s at least 6-7 losses on his record that could easily be wins. I guess that’s the problem with being the “Road Warrior” if he had a big promoter behind him it would’ve been very different. I think I had him beating Dawson and Cloud and that was 6 years after his wins over Tarver and Roy. Gotta respect that guy despite his record. As tough as it gets.Last edited by JK1700; 04-23-2020, 02:36 PM.Comment
