    Who are the "great" (and "great" is subjective) heavies who never won a "Big 4" belt at HW?

    Jerry Quarry
    Earnie Shavers
    Ron Lyle
    Gerry Cooney
    Ike Ibeabuchi
    James Toney (title revoked in NC ruling)

    Honorable mention (fighters who are still active but we have our doubts)

    David Tua
    Calvin Brock

    Toney the great HW or the fat HW?
    Brock what have he done to be called the great?
    By "we have our doubts" ... do you mean there is more people like you?

    By doubts I meant that any of these names could be disputed. That's the way boxing is. The "we" is the community at large.

    I mention Brock because he is still active, has a "decent" record, and has a loss only to Wlad Klitschko.

    Could you precise who is participating in this community exactly?

    Brock: I know he lost only to Wald but who does he beat to be called the great?
    There is plenty other upcommers who are still unbeaten bcs they didn't fought Wlad yet ...

    I'm sure I'll get some heat for that one, Golota doesn't exactly have the best reputation, but anything's possible in today's division.
