      Far from great but Cedrick Fields fought pretty much everybody.

        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.

                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.

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