Good pick. Sharkey was regarded in subsequent eras as sombody who would have been champion if not for Jeffries and Fitzsimmons.
Exactly, Janitor. IMO, if he would have been in other eras, he could have been the champ... where do you have him in you HW- ATG-list?
Les Darcy. I know I'm being parochial as an Australian but I really believe the World got robbed of an immortal with his untimely death. As it stands he got a lot done being the dominant middleweight in the years between Ketchel and Greb,virtually cleaning out the division before the age of twenty.He did this a dominant fashion,without the benefit of no-decision fights,in a manner that was unheard of for that era. It staggers to think what he may have achieved considering people like Tex Rickard thought he was a legititmate threat to Jess Willard even as a middleweight. A great unfulfilled talent.
I completely agree. But I think to 99 % that I started this series "Forgotten great fighters..." even with Darcy, and if not, I´m sure that I had him yet, because I know that he´s today really almost forgotten (except perhaps by the hardcore-fans or some Australians)...
