Honorable mention to Ron Lyie. He was one of the better heavyweight. Great punch and was in the 1976 fight of the year ( Vs Foreman )

Originally posted by YogiLots of great or talented heavyweights have never won or had the chance to win the world title. Here's a few that come to mind;
Peter Jackson, Tom Sharkey, Sam Langford, Joe Jeannette, Sam McVey, Harry Wills, Luther McCarty, Young Stribling, George Godfrey (20's and 30's version), Roland LaStraza, Eddie Machen, Zora Folley, Cleveland Williams, Jerry Quarry, Jimmy Young, etc.
That's only a few of the better heavyweight contenders throughout history, but there's been a number of others.Comment

Williams was even better than Lyle. It's a shame that his prime was cut short courtesy of a cop's bullet, because I think he really would have had a chance against Ali otherwise.Comment
