    Fighters who became official world champions without actually winning the or a title in the ring. Let's name some. I'll start: Ken Norton comes to mind.

    If you hadn't said "Ken Norton", then I would have.

    Maybe not his first, but Lewis won world titles in the ring several times.

    Norton didn't.
