Forgotten top contenders

Rudkin was stiff not to win one.
His fight with Lionel Rose was close.

Wilford Scypion

 

Tony Ayala

Hector Lopez
George Navarro
Leeonzer Barber
David Bey
Miguel Montilla
Dujauan Johnson
Cecilio Espino

Four pages and no one mentioned Terrance Ali. He was a great fighter, yet never won the Lightweight title.

 

i dont recall anyone mention the rugged bennie brisco challanged 3 times came up just short james the heat kinchen good fighter who came up ? short aginst hearns

 

Briscoe isn't forgotten and is well respected here.

Was about to say that I feel Eddie Booker does not get his dues. You could also say Cocoa Kid although he has been getting some more dues recently. But Booker IMO was just as skilled as anyone else on the Row.

Peralta is a good call, very tricky contender.

Beat Benny Lynch 3 x didnt he?

 

no,sorry.twice

 

James Scott - At one time many people wondered if he might be the best LH,back at its all time best. I heard he finally got out of prison a couple years ago.

 

How about Joey Giambra?

Has he been mentioned?

 

And your timely mention of Scott brings up the name of the man who so shockingly knocked him down twice and out of the unbeaten ranks him on national television, a contender who very rarely gets mentioned. Jerry "The Bull" Martin was a colorful character who parlayed his win over Scott into title shots against Mustafa Muhammad, Saad Muhammad and Qawi, before fading into the background with losses to Johnny Davis and Ritchie Kates. (At Martin's expense, Kates retired a winner.)

 

no.good call:good
