Terry Norris.
Ken Buchanan probably would have been champion for a good few years were it not for Duran.
Earnie Shavers
Michael Moorer
Carlos Maussa
Earnie Shavers is a great one
Glen Johnson
Rodrigo Valdez- bad timing of being alongside Carlos Monzon
Michael Nunn- his own fault.
Your having a good day today Rock,because thats another good one,Johnson allways seemed like,well now he's going to shine.Quote:

Rafa Marquez, if not for Izzy, he may have had a shot at p4p #1 contention.

Meldrick Taylor
Jimmy Young

Yeah - I think Liston was a great fighter too.
How about these who just miss out:
Floyd Patterson
Jersey Joe Walcott
Pinklon Thomas
Cleveland Williams
I rate Liston as very good fighter but i feel he did slightly fall short of greatness but thats debatable depends which way you look at it. Skill wise he is great he had excellent jab and a great pressuring style, but record wise i feel he did fall just short of greatness.Quote:
