    Vernon Forrest, Charley Burley, Mike Mccalum, Paul Spadafora, Stevie Johnson, Julian Jackson, Bennie Brisco, Juan carlos Gomez and Michael Nunn come to mind

    For a bit of an older touch, Archie Moore was granted a title shot 10 years after he earned it. He had some big name fights, but there could have been better fights for him.

              A superfight in my mind has nothing to do with commercial aspect.

              Castillo-Corrales had an attendence of less then 5 thousand. It all about the fighters to me, if the fighters are super, then its a super fight, but I see where u are coming from tho
