        To name one, Jose Basora might be somebody to read up on and consider for that list, Iwatch, seeing as he beat Jake LaMotta, Fritzie Zivc, Holman Williams, and other contenders throughout his career...along with holding Sugar Ray Robinson to a draw in one of their fights.

          He sounds pretty good, where do you think he should be placed?

            Jose Basora, 76 (43KOs)-L20-D8 total 104
            1939-1952

            Jake LaMotta 1D, 1W, 1L, 1LKO9

            Sugar Ray Robinson 1D,1L (Basora's strong finish left some of the crowd feeling he deserved the verdict.), than at the end of his career, Ray KO'd him in 1 (Jose was down 4 times-The Basora rematch set a record that would stand for a very long time: It was the fastest knockout ever in a world title fight, lasting only 50 seconds. That record stood for 38 years.)

            Never holded a belt tho, other than
            Middleweight Championship of the Antilles
