    Graham was a good call. Golota comes to mind.

    some obvious one's come to hand:

    Langford, Jeanette, McVey, Wills (for a good while these were arguably the best 4 HW's in the world, plus Langford was arguably the best boxer in every division from LW upwards)

    Burley, Bivins, hell murderes row.

    Charles, Tunney, Greb never picked up a LHW title but these 3 are staples of any top 5 LHW list.

    It is very sad but not surprising.

    There is a thread some lump of **** started stating that the Klit bros are the greatest of all time and that their records combined is impressive.

    There isn`t a single stand out name on any of their records in the win column of both but these idiots think a fat Nigerian blob is a great win.

    ****ing idiots the lot of them.

    I thought it was best boxers that never won a title?

    If JCC Jr is considered a "world" title holder today, then I think Micky Ward is a good shout here.

    recently z gorres is a very good boxer who never won it. personally, i think he could have edged montiel but the official judges don't think so. that's the closest he got to being the champ.

    Currently, David Tua has to make that list. As does Andrew Golota.
