Rule : had to have been in at least one world title fight.
Lucas Matthysse
Andre Dirrell
Vanes Martiyrosan
Diego Chaves
Off top these are the only 4 notable fighters I could think of.
Martin Murray comes to mind, he just has a very 'robbable' style, haha. He really isn't that bad a fighter, no matter on the personal bias for or against GGG.
Imagine if he had Canelo style judging behind him
Beat Sturm for WBA title
Beat Martinez for WBC and lineal titles
Lost to Golovkin, but no shame there
Moved up and beat Abraham at 168 for his WBO belt
That isn't a bad resume at all. I guess we'll know if he convincingly beats Groves next
You missed Mauricio Herrera. Oddly enough, the man has fought the likes of Ruslan Provodnikov, Mike Alvarado, Frankie Gomez, Karim Mayfield, Hank Lundy, and Mike Dallas Jr. yet his only title shot was against Danny Garcia. I don't count the fights against Johan Perez or Jose Benavidez Jr. for the "interim" titles.
And with how awful and unmotivated Herrera looked in his loss against Gomez it looks like he'll have to settle for being "The People's Champ". I think he's done.
Both good choices. Totally forgot about them. And they arguably beat the lineal champion in their division.
My God, you are really a desperate and pathetic hater. GGG is a WBA, and IBF champion. What in the fuc does Lil Ward and Lil Lara have to do with it??????? GGG has never ducked any middleweight but the best middleweights have consistently ducked him. GGG is considered by most places as the best pound for pound fighter in the world or at least in the top 3. GGG will probably soon be the WBC middleweight champion as well. Get used to it hater. GGG will be the champ and the best and undefeated for years to come and all your b*tching and crying won't change that.
I love boliodogs :lol1:
Jokes/sarcasm go right over your head every single time, never fails. Always come in to threads with the most serious responses ever. I'm not dissing you, it's just funny, it's always happening to you, you never know when someone's joking, like ever :lol1:
lucas imo.
was gonna say tua but then i read active. love the tuaman.
the guy that said murray has a point. he's been in some close title fights with good competition
Only options to consider were Vanes and Andre Dirrell (I don't get the sizzle behind Diego Chaves, beyond just being a rugged guy, and matthysse's performances against Judah/Alexander, Danny Garcia, and Viktor Postol seemed to show that he was JUST short on the ability scale).
Vanes and Dirrell both seemed prone to mental lapses/breakdown, but Dirrell is the far better talent, so I went with Dirrell.

Golovkin.
He didn't win the WBA title, it was handed to him.
I don't count the Lemieux and the IBF title cuz Lil G, Lara, 155, Ward, 164 and 97k.
You know what, scratch that. He's not any good let alone the best at something. At ducking, maybe.
Lil G a bum.

There are 80 different titles out there. If you have been fighting more than seven years and haven't won a world title, it is because you have fought no one (Keith Thurman) or you are just a mediocre fighter (all the people on the list above).
Golovkin.

They are all good but none of them are the best at their weight class. Years ago I would have voted for Matthysse , I probably misspelled his name, if so I am sorry. Today I think Vanes is fighting the best of the boxers you listed. Lucas didn't look good quitting to Postol.

Lol. I went division by division. I really think I got all the worthy candidates. I just know there is one obvious one that will make me look stupid tho. Lol
Your list is pretty spot on.
lucas mathysse hands down and they made a big mistake of opting out of the IBF championship to save their mandatory right to Garcia's title, It was stupid, had Petersen been the lineal champion , mathysee would've been more than a world title holder.
Matthysse for sure. Sounds like he's coming back but the fact that he considered retirement makes it even crazier that in today's boxing with so many belts, he might have went his whole career without one.
Matthysse obliterated world champions and never won a belt himself. It's crazy. He's my pick unless there is someone extremely obvious we are forgetting.
