Best fighters that never won a championship?

Probably not the greatest but Micheal Watson should probably have won a world title. In his three title shots he came up against Mike McCallam who apart from being a great fighter was a stylistic nightmare for Watson and knocked him out in the 11th round. Later he had two shots against Chris Eubank, the first he was robbed (Eubank admits this) the second he was on his way to winning comfortably (Eubank also admits this) and was on the verge of stopping Eubank in the 11th round before he was caught with an huge uppercut which almost lifted him off the floor. He got up only to be stopped in the next round while still wobbly from the previous knockdown. This fight ended his career as he went into a forty day coma and was later paralyzed. Tragic end for a fighter who I personally think was the best of the golden era of British middleweight boxing, he also beat Nigel Benn by tko when Benn was 22-0 (22 kos).
