    That's a very strange question... there must be hundreds and hundreds of boxers, who fit this description!

    Andy Price had wins over Pipino Cuevas and Carlos Palomino before they were champs.

    Willie “The Worm” Monroe and Bobby “Boogaloo” Watts both beat pre-champ Marvin Hagler.

    Tommy Morrison beating Big George Foreman immediately sprung to my mind. (I don't consider WBX or IBX or WTF belt holders as Champions).

    Kenny Lane - beat Carlos Ortiz, Carlos Hernandez and Ralph Dupas

    Alfredo Urbina - beat Jose Napoles, Eddie Perkins and Chango Carmona

    It's not easy when you draw the line at 3 like I did. It gets easier if you go less.

    David Bey never became a champion. But he beat Buster Douglas and Greg Page who later did.
