Watch the Irish lads and lassies. Fitz said a lot of contradictory things.. as we all do! Neither Choynski or Maher fought for the recognized title but Maher did fight Fitz for a claim then pretty accepted for a brief time. What about Bert Cooper?
Earnie Shavers David Tua Razor Ruddock Bert Cooper Clevland Williams George Chuvalo Don't who else really deserves to be on that list
Although Mac Foster doesn't fit the criteria for your discussion, he sure did pack a wallop! And Galento's left hook could put a hole in a steel door!
Hmmm.... This is not easy. Shavers Tua Quarry Henry Cooper (almost KOd Ali with one punch) Clevland Williams Buddy Baer Galento Lyle Bonavena Chuvalo
I don't consider an inter continental or Canadian title as legitimate. Unless they win it from a major sanctioning body then they are not real champions in my opinion.
Joe Goddard allegedly fought for the title against Denver Ed Martin… and he sure as hell punched like a mother****er.
