    British Middleweight Herol Graham and American Featherweight Bernard Taylor are 2 that come to my mind. Your picks please.

    Sam Langford obviously and Earnie Shavers
    Kirkland Laing who pulled a huge upset win over Robert Duran in 1982 deserves a mention.

    Bah, can't believe I forgot about Shavers. He had a hell of a punch.

    Quarry, Chuvalo, and Bonavena were all top notch fighters. They were just born at the wrong time!
