    Nino LaRocca hasn't been mentioned yet. Riddick Bowe. Shannon Briggs with all those early ko's gets the Lamar Clark award. Roldan. Jirov.

    Virgil Hill. Twenty plus title defenses but not close to a great light heavyweight. Great timing for a career.

    Chris Eubank. Had some big wins , I’ll give him Watson and Benn but often so painful to manage to watch.

    Botha also has a better record than his abilities would suggest if you shave off the losing streak at the end of his career. I don't think I'll ever stop getting those two guys confused...

    Nielsen seemed to get a lot more hype than Botha though, Botha's best performance in my opinion was his draw against Shannon Briggs, a really good action fight where he probably should have gotten the decision despite being knocked down. Another guy that I'll mention is Michael Grant, was never the same after Lewis destroyed him.

    La Rocca wasn't bad, but his resume was flattering.
