The Top 5 Middles Who Never Won The Crown?

No worries.
Intriguing fight to ponder a bit.:good

 

AT the risk of leaving someone obvious out, and using Cyberboxingzone as the lineal test, i go with the following: (in no order)*

1. Joe Choynski
2. Sam Langford
3. Tommy Burns
4. Roy Jones Jr
5. Archie Moore

* Les Darcy was not considered because he is too controversial.

 

This is too bad...I like Darcy quite a bit, and having a rational discussion would be pretty cool...in fact any rational discussion around here would be great. Too many keyboard warriors anymore.

 

Loads of people were recognised as a title holder during that period.

But not once was there a true champion because the top 3 wouldn't face each other. And when the top two did fight, it was over the limit.

 

Why would you not have Darcy and why is being controversial a reason and was it his fault ?.. you are an Aussie I thought. I don't think Choynski fought much under 158 back then, he usually weighed about 167

 

What do you mean colored champs? There is no such thing as race once you step inside that squared circle. A champ is a champ.

 

They would rate along with Darcy if you ignore all Lytell's terrible results. He lost to too many very ordinary fighters. I was angry when I called him a bum though so don't pay too much attention to that

 

Not sure where Burley was ranked at the time........ I would doubt anyone here would have Darcy in their Top 50 which is sad... a top 100 would be painful to try I admit lol. It seems to me that Darcy is easily the most underrated fighter in the forum
