Tony Tubbs and Carl"The Truth"Williams come to mind.Tubbs didn't train, and had no power, and Williams didn't have the chin, and just had...
Thomas Hearns.

The Leon Spinks of the first Ali fight has a chance, but otherwise Archie stops Leon in the ninth round, too much saavy.
He didn't push for a rematch because Ray wasn't stupid.
Larry Holmes would eventually get to him, probably about mid-1978, for that decision loss.
Marvin would beat the hell out of Ray en route to a lopsided 15 round decision, the only thing really holding up Ray is his chin.
