    Vaughn Bean was the one that sprang to mind for me. Ultimately he could clearly box, losing a Majority Decision to an uninterested Michael Moorer in 97. Atlas quit Moorer’s corner after that showing. Bean also challenged Holyfield a year later, losing on points.

    For the most part, it’s amazing how high up the ladder he climbed. His opposition wasn’t much, for the most part.

    Tocker Pudwill (end the thread)

    Calzaghe and Ottke also passed David Starie back and forth, but he was Roy Jones compared to Tocker.

    Peter Manfredo?

    Definitely Ildirim

    Hamsho was a good fighter, doesn't deserve to be on this list imo
