Great Fighter's that are mainly forgotten about today?

Not quite great, but Bobby Czyz had one of the most interesting careers in the sport in my lifetime and maybe ever.

Brian Mitchell comes up from time to time but I think not nearly often enough. One of the best ever at 130 IMO.

Zach Padilla. He was great then his career was over in an instant.

 

Good list except for Vinny. Vinny is 2nd only to Barry Bonds in the use of PEDs.

 

Vinny was prescribed steroids to build up his neck muscles when he broke it and had to wear a halo to better protect and support, just like anyone who breaks their neck and has to wear a halo. If anyone ever deserved a therapeutic exception, it’s a guy with a broken freaking neck.

He moved way up in weight due to that so he was fighting bigger guys.

I don’t think he was a drug cheat.

 

Now your talking, yet he was no "Lion of Flanders".

 

Juan Laporte. One of my all time favorites. Seemingly fought everyone. KO'ed Rocky Lockridge with one punch in an all action fight.

 

Holyfield is the undisputed steroid king of boxing

 

Good shout out to Juan LaPorte , he just came along during an excellent era for his weight
