    Arturo Gatti never won a title? Wasn't a big follower of his but that does surprise me.

    Wasn't Art Aragon a film star?

    The Australians?

    I bet that really helped his popularity with the Brits When he became Aussie Joe.

    To be fair to Herol Graham, he was involved in one of the most spectacular knockout fights in history against Julian Jackson.

    Ace Hudkins, a terrific drawing card in Los Angeles during the 1920s and 1930s, never won a world title.

    Bep van Klaveren comes to mind ! won a gold medal in 1928 , was really popular here in Holland.
    Than moved to the States and did very well.
    He also boxed in Australia for 30-000 people or more
