    Fighters who would have been world champions in a different time?

    Who if given a chance in there prime would have won titles or gotten alot more wins as champions if they weren't in such a deep division.

    I'll start

    David Tua - How many shots has Ruiz had at the title and how has Tua only had one? Tua destroyed Ruiz, he would be a world champ in this Heavyweight division in his prime possibly the top dog.

    Ken Norton - Beat Ali (he was world champ but only by default and in his declining years)

    Oba Carr - Unlucky enough to be in an era with Quartey, Trinidad, De La Hoya, Randall.

    Dont forget Bennie Briscoe he would have cleaned out the late 90s middleweight division with only Hopkins standing in his way.

      I agree on Tua. He was Ranked in the Top 10 for like 8 years straight, and only got 1 title shot against an ATG in Lewis. Bad management ruined his career.

              How about Yaqui Lopez, a good lt heavy in a strong division.

                Alexander Povetkin.

                If he came along a few years later, after Wlad retires, he'd have a good chance of becoming champion.
