Good fighters who never got a World title shot?

I stand corrected, when I said Holman Williams was 2nd highest fighter on my p4p list to never receive a title shot, Bivins is, pretty sure Williams would be 3rd.

Lloyd Marshall another fine figher

 

Pete Rademacher has entered the chat.

 

Sadly far too many to mention. Names that immediately spring to mind:

Peter Jackson,
Harry Wills,
Murderers Row.
Patrick "Packey" McFarland.

 

McFarland got a shot vs Welsh. By all accounts he was robbed by the official draw verdict.
I agree with your other suggestions. The murders row may represent the 4 x boxers I rank highest who never got a world title shot.

 

Jimmy Bivins was the Undisputed duration champion.

 

Maybe , bot those guys could have beaten 99% plus of the profs in that era

 

Harold Johnson never getting a shot at the HW title is shocking to me and hasn’t been mentioned. He beat multiple number ones over the years

 

Remember Rademacher ?

 

you got a note pad? damn near any contender from the world's greatest boxing nations...

the BUSINESS of Boxing CAN'T and Didn't allow all great fighters the chance!!!

Now, in their, the Business Owners, defence, it is impossible to have competitions that all could have possibly competed in...

Now, in their prosecution, they are Gulity of Much Corruption, Exclusion, Theft, Cheating and Exploitation.

the BUSINESS of Boxing, has given us relatively few greats...

the SPORT of Boxing, has given us Thousands of Great Fighters.

 

Yes I remember him, he was a professional fighter when he fought Patterson.
