    Anthony (The Man) Mundine would have to be right up there....

    Certainly among our top 100 to never win a World Title:D

    I would rate Hector right up there...... Unfortunate circumstances reduced his killer instinct

    Imo Anthony Mundine is the best never to win a world title. The WBA regular title is NOT a world title belt imo when the WBA have a super champion above.

    Which as I said in a thread about the best performance by an aussie is still something to be very proud of seeing as Prime lightweight Duran was just about the best speciman of a fighter that has ever laced them up.

    In an interview with his old trainer, Ray Arcel in KO magazine in the 80's he stated he was never more worried in a Duran fight tan against Thompson; said he felt 'sick' in the corner and would never want Roberto to fight him again

    Good post mate , And i reckon Thomaz Adamek will roll Steve Cunningham next time out, i was abit dubious about Adamek's move to Cruiser but he has grown into the weight well , the Yanks think i'm nuts with this prediction though as they see USS Cunningham as all singing and dancing but i don't rate the fella , his boxing skills leave a lot to be desired , Huck is a virtual novice coming from kickboxing and he almost went the distance with him not to mention sharing two fights with the average Pole Wlod ..

    He was a good fighter but a long way from becoming world champion at any stage...
