[katsidis]

Far from great but Cedrick Fields fought pretty much everybody.

[TBear]

Gotta love the guys that do boxing for a living, knowing they will never be a champion. Fighting on the road, never getting a break, trapped in the role as opponent. We see them over and over and often they go unmentioned but they make the sport so much better.

[Jim Jeffries]

Ross Puritty was a durable journeyman that fought his share of decent fighters.

Wladimir Klitschko

Jesse Ferguson

[Heavy Bag]

Becuase you said ''rarely broke into the Top 10 ratings''

I don't know about Manuel Ramos, he was a Ring Magazine rated contender for around 3 straight years.

In 1966 he was rated 10th, in 1967 he was rated 4th, and in 1968 was rated 7th.

Zack Page (Dominick Guinn, Johnathon Banks, Jason Estrada, Cedric Boswell, Jason Gavern, Sprott, Mike Perez, Pulev, Sebastian Koeber, Seth Mitchell, Tyson Fury, Juan Carlos Gomez, Charr, Luiz Ortiz)

[GJC]

Jesse Ferguson

Must say Fergusan stuck in my mind, Ribalta too of that era seemed to fight about everyone at one time or other
