Very Good Fighters that never Held a World Title?

Endrju Golota!

 

First guy I thought of. How did you score his fight with Conteh?

 

Another fighter worth a mention is Eijiro Murata, who arguably beat both Lupe Pintor and Jeff Chandler. (Had Pintor beating him by a point and the first Chandler fight even myself.)

 

Micheal Olajade
Tommy Ayers

 

micheal is a great choice! very talented but the champions in his weight class where to strong for him at the time.

im worried that juan lazcano may be a name for this thread.

 

Joe Jeanette

 

bernard taylor would have been champ if it wasent for pedroza and mcguigan.

 

Charley Burley, Eanie Shavers,Oba Carr, Jerry Quarry , Razor Ruddock all very good but couldn't ever capture hardware.

 

If you want this thread to go on for days I suggest you change it to moderate fighters who WON a world title.:good

 

this fighter never get mentioned very much but colin jones was very good and one the hardest hitting welterweights of all time.

 

Yeah i saw Lopez destroy David Santos.
Also gave Tszyu a great fight, i felt that it was a real, real close fight, from memory.

 

didnt see this before my post, i must say i have to agree.

 

1970 post?? Thats kinda of takeing out a lot of great fighters in this regard.

 

Ringo Bonavena has not been mentioned so far, I think :think

 

Jimmy Young must be mentioned. Very good stylish heavyweight. Was unlucky to drop decisions to Muhammad Ali And Ken Norton. Beat George Foreman. The only one to do this prior to himself was the mighty Muhammad.
