    Vicente Rondon was 6'3 like Bob and had 79'' reach same as Bob

    was born in 1938 like Bob

    boxed in the military like Bob

    had no success in the H/W division like Bob

    held the WBA Light Heavyweight title the same time Bob held the WBC title

    thats the best i can do burt

    We both were of the same weight division, who failed at a similiar task,
    many, many years apart.
    Hint- I was one of my country's very greatest fighters.

    Perhaps.

    Fitz was middleweight and heavyweight champion when he lost the title to Jeff.

    Of couse he didnt win the title in the rematch in 1902 I belive, he did win the lightheavyweight title in 1903, so perhaps in some warp way,

    Never mind. I thowing out Fitz lol.

    No D. Fitz did not fail in his quest for the heavyweight title, as did these two GREAT lightheavyweight champions.
    My guy was one of his countries greatest fighters EVER, who failed his challenge ,along with lean Bob Foster !

    No, it wasn't Tommy Loughran. My guy's origin was from another country
    than the USA.
