      Ike Ibeabuchi is a very good one to throw out there...but I have to go with my boy, Lamar Parks. Parks only title shot came against Reggie Jonhnson and he lost a close ud, Parks was still a pup too. He contracted the AIDS virus and never fought again.

      Think about this, Lamar PArks and Gerald McClellan were set to square off against each other....McClellan went brain dead and Parks got AIDS...Two guys entering the prime of their careers...and all of a sudden.

        Add Michel Watson to both lists.

          Toney Tucker should also be on this list! From the time he when he fought Tyson and even before that he was a bad ass, in Tucker's prime I believe only Tyson beat him! Tucker was years gone when he fought Lewis, but in his day he was as good as it got without a title belt!

            Tucker was IBF champ, beat Buster Douglas in 10 for it in 87 then lost it in his first defence to Tyson

              if it has to be the BEST fighter never to win a world title, it has to be Langford. i've heard many boxing experts say he may have been the p4p greatest of all time

                Well for heavyweights I would have to say David Tua.

                  He was not good. But wasn;t he a WBO champ?

                    Golota has been robbed four times.

                      IF you wanna talk modern fighters that is one thing. But all time.....either Langford or Burley. IMO Burley.
