Fuck it! Inspired by another thread. Which boxers in history are objectively just hideous looking guys? The notables: Hatton Zaragoza Iran Barkley Golota Holmes Carlos Maussa Leon Spinks Provodnikov Who else?
While Ricky Hatton Certainly Wasn't HANDSOME, REED Doesn't Think He's QUITE Ugly Enough for This List...You Pieced Together Some NICE Names Though, Otherwise... REED
Sakio Bika and his wife are an unfortunate looking couple. Zelenoff got beat up by one of the guys in The Hills Have Eyes
Golota is a weird lookin dude man. Definitely not Bowe. When Bowe was young he was actually a fairly decent lookin guy. Mike has some rough, Pitbull like features, but I wouldn't consider him a hideous guy.
Was about to post valuev. Dont think he can be beaten. Honorable mention to Carnera, who was a hell of a troll looking mf
disagreed on golota. I think he was/is a fairly good looking man. Young Mike and Bowe were studs, they dont belong at all on such a list
Golota and Tyson weren’t lookers, but hardly what come to mind when I think of “ugliest boxers ever”. Bowe was an okay looking guy. Valuev is a good choice. I envision him created in some lab like a Frankenstein monster.
Yeah, Mike definitely doesn't apply here. Thousands of women swooned over him in his prime, and you can't say it was JUST because he was famous. They wouldn't swoon over Iran Barkley, even if he was mega famous.
After the first Sam Peter fight, I got a kick out of James Toney (of all people) calling Larry Holmes ugly and fat. Like a bulldog!
In an alternate universe, if Valuev were the most famous athlete on Earth, I don't think women would be lining up to fuck him. Mike was fucking Robin Givens and Naomi Campbell. Those broads wouldn't be laying down with a guy who looks like Larry Holmes.
Holmes never had the main stream appeal of Mike. Mike was a superstar. These hos know where the gravy train is
agREED... Cuevas and Shakur Don't LOOK Alike, But They're On a Similar LOOKS Spectrum in REED's Opinion...Neither BAD Nor GOOD Looking, as You Stated... REED
This might sound fucked up and i promise I dont mean it to be racist, but of all the Mexican greats, Oscar & Duran are the only two I can think who were legitimately really good looking guys when they were young.
Disagreed, when he was young and slim, he was decent looking imo. Older and fatter though, he started to resemble a black pig.
Not only that, but Tyson and Bowe were apex alphas. They would get mad pussy even if they weren't famous.
Agreed. Toney in the early-to-mid 90s was an okay looking dude. We ain't talking Ali or Ray Leonard here, but he wasn't ugly.
Holyfield definitely was on the ugly side. Still, he's a big and in shape dude so not sure he qualifies
