Fought 10 world champs but no title shot

Just a silly trivia question for everyone that I mulled over while looking at the Fritzie Zivic thread. It was stated how Fritzie fought 'everyone', and I agree. However, I was thinking of fighters who really did fight everyone and couldn't even get a crack at the whip like Fritzie did. So my question is, who fought at least 10 world champs and couldn't get a title shot? I found three without going too crazy on it. Just something for a Friday morning guys.

 

I think Burley only fought about 3 or 4 champs. My first thought was Ralph 'Tiger' Jones but he only fought 8 champs. So this is a more difficult question than one would think.

 

Flanagan and Bivins are good additions. I had Risko and Marshall as 1 and 2. For what it's worth, my 3rd fighter was Famoso Gomez of all people. I say that with amazement because it is harder for a latter day fighter to get on this list because everyone today gets a title shot. Again, good additions.

 

Just thought of another one. Angel Robinson Garcia. Broke the record here. 15 world champs without a title shot. But in his case he got lazy. He was a good contender at one time but just fell into the journeyman role by having a good jaw, instinctive defensive reflexes and a yen for the bottle.

 

Bukakke, I was just coming on here to add Paul Pirrone when I see you beat me to it. As for the others, great research, my man.

 

Holman Williams, although fighting a who's who of welter and middle, actually only fought 5 world champs. Fields, Purrity and Imparato all appear to have less than 10 also.

 

Afraid not, on any of them. I thought I had a couple in Alfredo Urbina, but he came in with 9 champs on his roster and Marion Wilson had about 8.

 

Dude, you are absolutely right. I had given a cursory check on these fighters and I can honestly say the IBO, WBF and Inter-continental BS titles were just shimmering in my face. I should have mentioned to draw the line at WBA, WBC, IBF and WBO, but Abdul meets the criteria. Good catch, Bukkake and good find, Ra's.

 

Outstanding! I think I counted 11 on his record.
