    There really is too many to give 1 name

    McCallum - Wanted Hagler/Leonard/Duran/Hearns never got any of them. Never got to fight the big money champs like Benn/Eubank after that

    Burley - couldnt get his shot at Armstrong/Zivic at WW, couldnt get his shot against WW so moved to MW and couldnt get the shot at Zale/Grazziano despite being the best contender. Then theres robinson and lamotta who werent keen on fighting him either

    Lets be honest though Champions dont want to risk there title against the toughest challenge unless they are heavily compensated

    Nice post.

    Mike McCallum never got shots at the big four middlewieghts mentioned above and probably does considerable damage to all of them if he was given the chance to fight them.

    Welterweight Ted Kid Lewis fought Light heavyweights like Rosenbloom,Belanger ,and Carpentier.I don't think he avoided anyone.

    its a hard one, who do i go for? a guy who was really active and succesful in evry respect except he didnt get a shot at a title or a talented guy who was so avoided he never got his career going? occasionaly i come acros a name of a guy who retires with only a handful of fights but a few scalps and impresive wins as an amatuer like Kent green who kod ali as an amatuer surly had potential, alberto lovell who won a gold medal for argentina beat arturo godoy many times or loyd marshall?

    "I am Legion" is out of the bible in original. I can´t remember if some demon or the devil himself says that.

    Randall Flagg was pretty cool though. :good
