    All Time Greats, Champions, and top contenders are always mentioned, and rightfully so, but why not fringe contenders and journeyman.
    Jimmy Thunder, Jeremy Williams, Wolfgramm, Lionel Butler, Maurice Harris, Ross Purrity, Jesse Ferguson, Corey Sanders among quite a few others, werent the best skilled, but all were talented, and many were quite entertaining to watch, and were tv friendly fighters, and all were capable of upsets. i really miss watching USA Tuesday night fights, where many of these guys were showcased.

    I'll start a fringe contender thread. If there's a place we could do some damage it's here.
