    Default Who is the best modern fighter never to win a world title?

    Back in the days of 8 World Champs, many a fighter was very good and never won a World Title, Charley Burley, All-time is the best IMO, but my question is...

    Who is the best fighter(s) who retired between Jan 1 1996 and Dec 31 2005, to not win a WBA, WBC, IBF or WBO title?

    Darryl Tyson. Don't think he ever captured a major belt.

    Good call, he qualifies on his mid 90s comeback. This is a very hard question to answer... just waiting for the 43 Mr Presidents to kick in

    Watson and Graham Im sure were the two on the end of most (Brits at least) peoples tongues.

    Maybe not officially retired but I dont see him ever winning one so Im going to include David Tua, not the greatest but you would have thought he could have thumped his way to a title win.
    When God said to the both of us "Which one of you wants to be Sugar Ray?" I guess I didnt raise my hand fast enough

    CC. I'd have to agree on that one. I watch the Brewer fight and I'm always stunned to think he was 40. He could have easily demanded a rematch. Great fight.
