    Liam Wilson was robbed vs Navarette. He could have been a world champion.

    I always feel like Troy Waters has been severely underrated. I guess he didn't help himself in a couple of his title shots. Didn't throw enough.

    I never saw him danger maybe once. I remember when Guy Waters got ktfo vs a brilliant Mundine right hand.

    Langford won a world title twice. Not lineal, but still.
