Greatest Fighters Never to Win a World Title?

He had the three the same as Michael Watson who you said so if Graham wasn't good enough then neither was he.

 

Bonavena was beaten by all the best men he faced, which is why I don't think his name is appropriate here, but WTF your opinion is as valid as mine!

 

Yup.

Sam Langford
Packey
Mr Burley
Battling Jim.

 

Lol

 

Graham lost the narrowes SD to McCallum which could easily have gone the other was and Michael Watson was destroyed and KO'd by that same McCallum so giving Michael Watson as your answer then saying Graham wasn'tgood enough makes no sense at all.

 

• Judge: Jesus Celis 113-117

• Judge: Justo Vasquez Marcos 117-115

• Judge: Contimanza Amadeo 115-114

Something wrong here.

 

Some people consider Sam Langford to be the greatest fighter who ever drew breath.

Wouldn't it be an irony if the greatest fighter of all time was a man who never held a title?

In all fairness it was Joe’s 12th fight. He sounds like he was a force of nature!

 

Kenny Lane was a beast at 140. At 135 too, but severely hindered by making weight. Carlos Ortiz called him the cleverest and most skilled fighter he faced.

Of the 70s light-heavy crop, Lopez, Kates and Ahumada were all truly excellent fighters. Real champ in any other era types.

Jose Medel was monstrous at bantam, one of the all-time great dangermen of the lower weights and a genuine favourite of mine. Lazy and inconsistent, prone to being outworked, but an immensely well-schooled counter puncher and brilliant trapsmith (the Archie Moore of the bantams in that sense). Sneaky ******* with grenade-like power in both hands. Took Jofre to the brink in their first fight and broke his nose; defeated Harada, Pimentel, Seki, McGowan, a host of other contenders in a stacked era and drew with Chucho Castillo when past his prime.

 

Tyrone Everett is a pretty good pick.
Yaqui Lopez came within a whisker of stopping Matt Franklin.
I don't know if Danny Green ever held a belt, but he probably should have grabbed a title is an era of multiple belts.

I don't know of a single pro bout of Langford at lightweight limit. Do you?

Willie Meehan had supposedly gone through more weights than Langford, is that an achievement that makes him ATG?
