Fighters who had one brilliant performance in their careers, and little else...

[Double L]

One hit wonders:

Buster Douglas

Calzaghe

Ivan Robinson

[IMDAZED]

Vernon Forrest
Vince Phillips

[who?]

calzaghe?

eubank + lacy = 2

end of thread.

[Rock on]

George Foreman
Said Aquita
Mill Mascaras

[Double L]

calzaghe?

eubank + lacy = 2

end of thread.

so should we make a thread for fighters who have had two brilliant performances then?

Antonio Tarver

[Double L]

Luis Perez is fast becoming a one-hit wonder. Since beating Machado, he's done almost nothing except lose to Kirilov.

[Erratic]

Ricardo Mayorga

[joony]

calzaghe's longevity speaks for itself and also has beaten other top 5 contenders such as Brewer, Mitchell, and Reid. Even Bika could be considered top 10-15 and Manfredo has improved since that garbage show.

calzaghe right now is considered one of the best if not the best super middle of all time. calling him a one-hit wonder is a bold statement.

the guy is unbeaten in forty some fights and is a future hall of famer.

Steve Frank (Nunn)
Montell Griffin (Jones)
Willy Salazar (Romero) (biggest upset I know of)
Rolando Pascua (Chiquita)
Nobuo Nashiro (Castillo) (he could leave the list easily enough)
Lyakhovich (Brewster) (he could leave the list)
Corrie Sanders (Wlad)
Alejandro Gonzalez (Kelly)

steve cruz (beat barry mcguigan)

[jarhead]

Not sure how big of a deal Ebo Elder's win over Courtney Burton is to others but it sure blew me away. I saw Burton handling him easy. Elder hasn't done shit since.

Don Curry

[Jake]

George Foreman
Said Aquita
Mill Mascaras
the wrestler? :lol:

[joony]

Don Curry

he beat starling twice and those weren't even his biggest win.

[Erratic]

I agree that Curry doesn't belong here. He had a nice run of good wins.

However I disagree that he beat Marlon twice, despite what the official scorecards said. I had Starling winning the first fight.

I was a huge Marlon fan and I don't remember thinking either fight should have gone his way. I also remember the 2nd fight being closer, though admittedly it's been a long time since I've seen them.

Marlon had a frustrating habit of pissing away rounds he should have won by showboating or dancing around the ring. He was a more talented version of Emmanuel Augustus.

No one has said Hasim Rahman?

Oh well, I scored it for Marlon. :dunno:

I like both fighters...Curry a little more though.

[Ugotabe Kidding]

Great example, allthough you could argue that he had one brilliant punch and little else :lol:

[Tam Tam]

Calzaghe? Curry? Jesus, you guys are nuts.

[slystaff]

Calzaghe? Curry? Jesus, you guys are nuts.

I siad Curry just to piss people off.

jose luis castillo > donald curry

I agree with Noble... I thought Curry won the first fight for sure, but it was close.

[dymipepel]

Well, one thing's for sure......Rahman has better victories on his resume than Vitaly ever had....

[Double L]

i agree that Calzaghe, next to some of the ones we've listed, is definitely out of place. but he's still a chunk.

[Tam Tam]

Yeah, you've said it a million times. People stopped being shocked.

[The Cuban Hawk]

Jesse James Leija - the rematch with Azumah Nelson
Gabe Ruelas - vs. Leija
Vince Phillips - the win over Tszyu (this one may be debatable)

:lol: Phillips is arguable, but Leija (who beat Nelson three times) and Ruelas (who also beat Nelson) aren't?

Makes no sense.

Your math is what doesn't make sense.
