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

Your dead right rock, when you have a look at the path adamek has cut through the cruiserweight division, The fight that briggs took up to the much bigger man makes him a very tough unit indeed.

Yeah I should have added 'not that it should count'. But it's on his wall hey

 

What about Danny Green?

 

Who would you have @ 112 in a prime Hussy / Darchinyan clash Rock?

 

I have all those stories as well mate.
Vic has really come on in leaps & bounds, & i always felt he was much stronger mentally than Hussy.
Still tho both in their primes is a terrific matchup, that Vic would have won by a later rounds stoppage. I say around 8 thru to 11 sorta mark.

 

Vic Patrick would be another.

 

Cheers.
Arce was relentless and broke Hussy down where I think Vic would be more timely and devastating. Without the big power component, Hussy relies on his movement and speed and I've seen Vic handle those types well enough to make me put the odds in Vic's favour.

 

Danny won the WBA light heavyweight title in his last match against Stipe Drews, before retiring (or at least temporarily retiring).

 

Good list WhataRock, and yes there's plenty more, as per some of the later posts.

I reckon the early fighters had a harder task (ie before the alphabet titles swamped world boxing). Blokes like Hec Thompson (Duran), Ferreri (Zarate) and Mundine Snr (Monzon) were just plain unlucky to be around at the wrong time.

 

Going back to Skinny Hussein most might not remember that he floored pacman in the 4th rd of their fight in which he eventually lost. He did seem to freeze in other world title fights almost like he didn't want to be there.
