    Fighters who had great power but never made it to the top.
    List them.

    Heres one I remember that some may not know or remember

    Wayne Alexander. He had tremendous one punch KO power. He was a LMW who even when hurt had the equalizer

    Go to 1.50 here when he is hurt against Takaloo

    Alexander was given a late shot against iron chinned undefeated WBO MW champ H Simon (Active again and still undefeated). He was shook at one point and claimed Alexander hit him the hardest. I seem to recall Alexander broke both his hands in that fight

    Pat Barrett is always the first name that springs to mind. Devastating power.

    (Forward to 6:35 - the commentary cracks me up - 'he won't get up from that')

    Most of the mentions in this thread arent good examples because they all go to the top, some won titles, others just couldnt beat the best.

    it all depends on your interpretation of the top. I took it as someone who never won a championship belt.

    None of the fighters mentioned won world titles, so I think it's fair to say that they didn't quite reach the top.
