Best HW not to win a title in the Alpha Soup era

I always liked 'Mister' Snipes

 

I thought that Carl Williams was going to be really good...after the fight with Larry Holmes i figured he would win a splintered version of the title but he did not..had all the offensive tools but his defense was not good enough

 

Tua and Golota.

 

Someone just mentioned it right there...


Carl the truth Williams.. He was a BIG star when he was on fire and in his prime...

 

beat me to it.

 

Golota was a really good fighter with a great jab and great reflexablity, and great tactility especially for such a big guy. The guy had all the physical abilities to become the world champion. He could have definalty beaten guys like Lewis, Brewster, Grant, and Tyson. His biggest letdown was the mental aspect of the game. Golota also didn't know on how to deal with speed(Brewster, Tyson, Lewis). He always struggled with a faster fighter couse he didn't know how to deal with them...and it always either led to early KO loses.

Reasons why Lewis was always superior to all HWs in his time. He was pretty much the complete package.

Also, imo he did get screwed in his fights vs Byrd and Ruiz. In many eyes he was the WBA and IBF champion of the world, such a pity.

 

Golota was a choker....

Tua would be high on the list.... Ibeabuchi obviously...

 

Carl....

or Razor for me....
