Our best never to win a world title....

I have never seen footage of shannan at his fighting best, was he a real standout?

 

Yes he sure was.

 

Livingstone Bramble told me he was the hardest hitter he ever faced. Says a fair bit when you look at who Livvy fought.

 

Actually I was thinking Shannan. Poor bloke aside he had great talent. I thought Glen Kelly may be in the mix also?

 

Not hugely familar with the older guys on th elist but I always felt dissapointed that Briggs didn't achieve more. I guess his kickboxing career mixed with his lifestyle problems.

Adamek's proven to be world class fighter but I thought Paul had been a better fighter prior to their encounters, as close as they were, I still feel his best was better than that.

 

Probably add Troy Waters to that list, although i wouldn't put his brother Guy who also came close.

 

Doug Sam went pretty close, losing over 15 rounds to the Korean in Korea.

Also on ability & skill Paul Miller, though he never really got much momentum in the pros due to injuries etc, he left some of our more accomplished pros (Briggs, Green ) for dead in sparring.

 

Add the hussein boys to the list, especially skinny

 

Skinny got the WBF i think? Don't think Hussy got a title belt though?

 

Troy Waters came so close in stopping Terry Norris in the 2nd rd. If the left hook that he threw & missed by inches had connected, Norris would never have got off the canvas. He struggled to get up as it was but he did & went on to stop Troy in the very next rd. Oh so bloody close.
