fighter who had the most title shots without winning a title

With the profileration of titles today, and the political nature of the various world boxing organizations, it is not uncommon for a fighter to get multiple title shots. Victor Polo had five shots at a world title and came up short each time. He lost to Manuel Medina, Juan Pablo Chacon, Derrick Gainer and Juan Manuel Marquez. He drew with Scott Harrison. Polo seemed a solid fighter, who came close but couldn't quite get over the hump. Can anyone name another fighter who got 5 plus shots at a title and never won.

 

Mitsunori Seki and Yaqui Lopez also had 5 title shots - without ever winning a world crown.

 

I think Juarez has had six.

 

Andy Golota is up there......

MR.BILL

 

Herol Graham.

 

Yes, Rocky Juarez fought 6 times without winning a title.

 

One of Juarez's 'shots' was at an interim title. He's had 5 legit (or as near to legit as your going to call the mess we have today). Having said that, Juarez will probably break the record. He has the right connections but comes up shy every time. Another fighter with 5 is Lionel Hernandez of Venezuela.

I forgot about Lionel Hernandez. Being, from Venzuela, he would be a WBA favorite. I rembember he lost to the well-protected Samuel Serrano in the late 1970's.

 

Betulio Gonzalez and Barkley must have a few.

 

How about the 'worst' fighter to get the most title shots.
Brain London (2)
vs. Floyd Patterson {1959}
vs. Muhammad Ali {1966}

 

They both won Titles

 

Talking about Alan Rudkins 3. They were all for the undisputed title, can that count as 6 then..

 

Booooo I wanted too say that

 

I was going to say Bruno, but he did win it in the end
