                Sam Langford.

                He fought and defeated some of the best (including world champions) but never got his chance at the title. He did have a 'claim' as the colored champion, though.

                  Of our era..I would say Fres Oquendo..robbed in the Chris Byrd fight and the Tua fight..he beat them both.....and some would argue Toney and Holyfield.
