    Bob Satterfield definitely belongs in this group. On any given night he could take your head off.

    Another guy who fits this list perfectly was Al "Bummy" Davis.

    How about Ralph "Tiger" Jones, who put a whupping on
    the Sugar Man. He was also very competive with very
    good fighters.

    absultely great example, i cant top darryl


    of course everybodys favorite (including mine) emanuel augustus

    sanderline williams was a very dangerous fighter

    leotis martin who owns ko's against thad spencer and the great sonny liston was right about to transcend a fairly mediocre career but retired due to a eye injury.

    anthony ivory is avery deceptive fighter if you judge him soley on his record. 33-78-5

    but he has wins over; germain sanders, maurice brantely, pat coleman, antwon echols, arthur allen and omar pittman... the guy that almost beat john pascual.

    Depends what is considered mediocre--a couple of nominees with losing records:

    Quintin Romero-Rojas--his career record is 25-49-8 with 10 KO victories and 28 KO defeats. Nevertheless, he broke into the top ten in 1924 with ko's of young Jack Sharkey and Larry Gains. He also defeated elite contender Jack Renault.

    Frank Buford--his career record is 22-29-7 with 2 KO victories and 15 KO defeats. Nevertheless, he defeated the respected Clarence Henry by UD in 1950, and also Turkey Thompson. Also had wins over Bob Dunlap and Joe Kahut.

    Both Romero-Rojas and Buford were clearly more dangerous than their final records would indicate.
