Boxers with the worst luck in their career

Sergiy Derevyanchenko’s fight against Munguia had me thinking about just how unlucky this guy has been during his pro career, with so many tough fights that didn’t go his way despite giving a good account of himself.

What are some other fighters whose career has been tarnished with “bad luck”, whether being in an era full of killers, constant injuries, being constantly screwed over by the judges, bad management, etc.

 

ike quartey

 

Both Davey Moore's had incredibly shitty luck.

 

Duran cheated to beat moore. thumbed him !

 

The thumb of God.

 

Tyrone Everett

 

I cant remember it they were unlucky decisions but Glengoffe Johnson had a string of MD SD and Draws

 

Lots of bad decisions, but during a stretch of his career, he was a happy loser

 

Lara should have wins over Tall Paul and Canelo on his resume.

 

I dont think he deserved the win against canelo

 

Lara could have done more but he outboxed alvarez. Hurd was the first guy to legitimately beat Lars

Lara whipped Williams 8 to 4 at *worst

 

For a star, pacman got robbed quite a few times

 

Ike Quartey. Robbed against De La Hoya and Forrest. Had the win over Lopez overturned into a draw.

Had fights agaisnt Whitaker and Trinidad cancelled.

He had some hard luck in his career.

 

Badou jack was screwed over more than a few times by the judges

 

I thought Lara won 10-2 against Williams. 9-3, best case for Paul. It was quite possibly the worst robbery oat.

 

Yeah I watched it and when I heard the 11 to 1 scorecard I thought it was for Lara, not Williams. It was bad.

 

agREED...

One of the More Overblown "Robberies" Canelo "Benefitted" From...Best Case Scenario for Lara was a DRAW, In REED's Opinion...



REED

 

Yeah, i was rooting for lara, but no way was that fight a robbery, even of you think lara should have gotten nod. Too many close rounds

 

Where is this "robbery" talk coming from? I used the word robbery to characterize Tall Paul vs Lara. Never described Lara-Canelo as a "robbery." But yes, I had Lara winning. A robbery is when the guy who received the decision has ZERO case for winning it. Never have I said Canelo had zero case for beating Lara. He had zero case for drawing Golovkin 1.

 

Quartey vs Forrest was a horrible robbery. Ike won 7 or 8 outta 10 rounds. How the fuck they gave it to Forrest I'll never know.

Ike vs Oscar was too competitive to characterize as a "robbery," but I did have Ike winning. He blew it in the last round though.

 

Oscar till this day is still crying about the Tito fight despite being on the end of receiving gifts against Pea, Ike, and Sturm.

Fuck him.

 

Not just Oscar, that's pretty typical of most fighters. When they're the beneficiary of questionable decision the line is "i have nothing to say, it's my job to fight, the judges did their job ..."

Holyfield used that narrative when he was gifted the draw again Lewis. When he was on the short end of the stick suddenly he was more opinionated.

 

Which decision where holyfield got the short end was he opinionated about?

 

Tommy Morrison getting khtfko against light hitting Michael Bentt led him to losing about $6 million in a Lewis match which eventually leads to AIDS and death

 

That’s weird I too missed out on a $6 million fight with Lennox Lewis but didn’t suffer the same Aids/Death symptoms. Tommy must have done something else wrong too just a guess.

 

The very next fight

 

What did he say?

Every time holyfield lost a decision he said well thats how the judges scored it

 

He got aids from prostitutes and drugs. If he gets that payday he gets aids sooner

 

Tommy was the dumbest fuck ever. All he had to do was stay on his meds and he'd be like Magic Johnson, alive and healthy. Instead, he turns into a conspiracy theorist who thinks AIDS isn't real. He became a very lethal case of "fuck around and find out."

 

I stiĺl don't understand how he was allowed to fight with aids doing cartwheels in his blood stream.... and those dumb fucks who agreed to fight him??
