    This also includes fighters who may have won a world title later in the career but only the title attemps before they got before their first title count.
    If they have never won a title that's cool too

    Bruno has 3 failed attempts
    Walcott has 4 failed attempts. (louis x2, Charles x2) Rematch doesn't count as he had already managed to get a world title once.

    McCline and Golota deserve a mention in this thread, most at HW I think
