Bennie Briscoe :boxing:

Rocky Juarez, in his prime he looked damn good. He almost beat Crhis John for the championship in their first fight. juarez looked very good when he was coming up. he was a guy that i wanted to see do well and i was totally shocked when humberto soto decisioned him. i was also surprised about how tough of a time he gave barerra. i thought he edged that first fight. tough break for him with that one and the draw with chris john. he has a great chin too, i think the only time i seen him floored was against linares. him and and emanuel augustus are probably the best journeymen of the modern era

Charley Burley is the greatest fighter in the HISTORY of boxing to never win a title. he was a consumate ring technichian and the likes of sugar ray robinson was "said" to have ducked burley. I don't believe he ducked him because he's the greatest of all time but he never fought burley even though he was in sugar ray's division. Fighters like Charley and many others of His boxing era paved the way for fighters today and its without question, or debate that he is the greatest to not win a belt in boxing. PERIOD. Look him up and youll see Robinson priced himself out of a Burley fight. Burley didn't blame him and said it was a business thing and also said that if the tables were reversed, that he would've avoided Robinson.

mickey ward was a good fighter He was an exciting gate-keeper/fringe contender. Far from the one of the best guys to never win a title. You've got ATGs like Langford and Burley (who beat the hell out of Archie Moore) and the black murderers row, or even more recent solid contenders like Tua or Ibeabuchi who were better fighters. Michael Watson was an excellent fighter. Made Nigel Benn his *****, should have gotten the decision against Chris Eubank, and then boxed masterfully in the rematch before the tragedy.

Robert Cohn, middweight champion of Harvard College.

i think a better thread would be in the current era. because really everyone gets a title nowadays

IBA doesnt count, otherwise Ward would be a World Champ by winning the WBU belt Sorry he is a 2 division champ, a mediocre one too Yeah, you'd have to be very liberal with calling them "world titles"....those are fringe belts.

For sure not the best, but no one has mentioned Freddie Pendleton. He was a very good fighter, was matched incredibly tough and mis-managed. Could have been a star if managed correctly, and definitely deserved AT LEAST one world title. He won a world title at 135. He went from a sandwich maker to world champ. Pretty impressive.

Charley Burley, Sam Langford, Holman Williams, Harry Wills, Harold Graham

Kirkland Laing

Michael Katsidis. Deserved an alphabet belt at least.

Surprised only one mention for golota. Its hard to find guys who never won a single belt as theres so many belts. Though golota got robbed against both byrd and ruiz in title fights. I mean hell he dropped ruiz twice? thats two 10-8 rounds plus beat him most of the other rounds, disgusting fight. Not an ATG or anything but he was really good for a guy to never hold one of the 4 main belts. i said tua but golota is another good choice

mickey ward was a good fighter he won one....my choice is david tua. he beat 4 former world champions(maskaev, ruiz, moorer, rahman)

David Tua is probably the best Heavyweight of the last forty years not to at least win a belt, especially considering how many guys he beat who did.

Peter Jackson... victim of the times and Sam langford

What about Jerry Quarry?
