Name some fighters who never won the title

Herol Graham, Michael Watson, Ernie Shavers, Sam Langford, definately Charles Burley (who, like Langford, was never granted a title shot and was quoted by Eddie Futch to be one of the greatest all-around fighters he ever saw), Ike Ibeabuchi could be dominating most heavyweights, Ken Norton.

 

Tony Baltazar should win a belt at 140 & hold iit for a while.
Bennie Briscoe could win a versionof the Middlewright title.
James Scott, if given a shot. would hold the Light Heavyweight crown for a while.

 

Sam Langford would beat Lightweight, Light-Welterweight, Welterweight, Light-Middleweight, Middleweight, Super Middleweight, Light-Heavyweight, Cruiserweight and Heavyweight champ for sure!

 

I agree he wouldn't dominate but I Think he could beat the current Light Heavyweight Champions. I have to disagree with your statement that "he had Matt ready to go at any time after round eight." He had him hurt in the eighth round and went all out for the k.o., but Matt survived the round, even coming back at the end. After the eighth round, Matt punished him the rest of the fight. Lopez blew his wad in the eighth. You make it sound like Saad was ready to be ko'd from the 8th to the 14th which just wasn't the case. He got a strong second wind.

 

jerry quarry....

 

Reuben Castillo could win a title today for sure. Lost to ATG Arguello, Sanchez, Chavez.

 

Yep somebody already mentioned him beating the cruiserweights of today.

 

Lopez would find significant success just now.Good overall skills, strong workrate, excellent jab, great combos and punch variety, decent power(which was a weakness against the heavier hitters of his own era, but wouldn't be now.this is not the kind of figher who is going to be turned back by "bad if you have no real fighting ability to pit against me" Chad Dawson.

Personally i consider a prime version to be comfortably on par with someone like Morales, who feasted on the ordinary or washed up much of his career and made his name in hard fought great bouts with other really good fighters(well, two)....something i think Lopez easily achieved even if he lost more than he won.

 

yes , this comment was mine, i forgot that i wrote on this thread

"jerry quarry would have fought in the cruiser surely and he would have been the undisputed and undefeated champ for sure and he would take the title of david haye, he might beat too this version of vitali. rubin carter would be the middle weight champ today hands down. "

 

For all the world, Ahumada should have been crowned lightheavyweight champ that night vs Foster...one of the worst decisions ever, IMO.,...and just imagine Joey Archer vs Kelly Pavlik for the middleweight title..15 rounds....just imagine. What a clinic archer would have put on..

 

David Haye would have tasted the canvas vs Jerry Quarry. Jerry would have feasted on Haye.

 

Gerry Cooney?? He would give Klitschko's a run for thier money. But if avoids them, Gerry would be sure to win a belt...

 

it for sure... quarry was the terror of the punchers... even foreman himself did admit that he avoided quarry(of course i think that a prime foreman would stop him(of course with some problem from this fast counterpuncher),(some foreman haters say that quarry would beat foreman basing on prime quarry handled a 19 years old kid foreman in a sparring session, foreman avoided quarry because he did not have the confidence in himself, he did not want to risk ,but i think that if a slow chuvalo could ko quarry, foreman might do it too for sure ) foreman said too that he was scared of frazier before of the fight).quarry would have been the undisputed and undefeated cruiser champ and he would give the hell to both klitschko, quarry would expose valuev badly.

 

Bob Satterfield,,
That guy would have clobbered somebody in Light Heavyweight.

Billy Joiner,
One helluva fighter at 189 lbs. from 1966 thru 1969.

 

Tom Bogs, if there had been a super-middleweight division at his time.
He was too small for lightheavy champ Bob Foster and too big for middleweight Champ Monzon.
