Who is the best to never have won a world title

[Luilun]

Ike Ibeabuchi

dude was destined to big things, too bad he was a nutcase

He's in the class of Tony Ayala Jr both had potential but both were rapist

[£-4-£]

Sam Langford is top 10 ATG, never won a recognised title but still one of the p4p Greats.

Laszlo Papp, Charley Burley, Cocoa Kid, Holman Williams, Spider Webb are other contenders.

David Tua judging by his record 'Best heavyweight' etc.

Ibeabuchi beat a prime Tua

For being a boogeyman, Lucas Matthysse never won a title.

eventhough he brutally ko'd a reigning champ in Peterson

Good question I think Oba Carr is right up there.
Really good fighter but his title shots came against Oscar, Quartey and Trinidad all undefeated and at their peak.

eventhough he brutally ko'd a reigning champ in Peterson

I remember, it was contested at 141 so it wouldn't be for the belt lol.

Who is it?

Benny Briscoe

Who is it?

To give that question an informed answer I would need to know of all the great fighters in history who never won a title and I don't and probably neither does anyone else on here. Welterweight and middleweight Burley was supposed to be very good and very feared and avoided by champions. It was said Sugar Ray Robinson would not give him a title shot even though he deserved one.

sam langford was at some point in his career the best lightweight, the best welterweight, the best middleweight and second best heavyweight. it's criminal he wasn't a champion. burley and holman williams were top contenders in 2 divisions (less than langford). then we have packey mcfarland.

Sam Langford would have to be up there. It's crazy that Jerry Quarry didn't.
