David "Nino" Rodriguez (b. September 18 1977 in El Paso) is a US American heavyweight boxer with a statistically impressive 27-0 (25 KOs, most in the first round) record against weak opposition.

Bio

After no or a negligable amateur career ("The sweet science.com" denies amateur experience, Fightnews claims his record was 8-2) the muscular heavy-handed 6’5” 240 lbs Texan Rodriguez turned pro in 1998. In 2003 he beat a certain Tommy Connelly (record 8-1) for the Texan state title, in 2004 Cruz Quintana (record 10-1). In 2005 he scored his only points win over just 4 rounds a distance which is very uncommon for a fighter who is a pro for seven years. On the undercard of Holyfield-Savarese in 2007 he managed to beat huge (276 lbs, 6’9”) southpaw Rick Dyer who just like him owned an inflated record at 13-0(13 Kos) coming in, however, none of Dyer's 13 opponents so far had a winning record. The TV commentators portrayed Rodriguez as a top prospect in their coverage and some websites (see link) have touted him, he was listed as #9 by ESPN.com as a heavyweight to watch under 30 but the quality of his 27 opponents has certainly been very low.
