Re: Who is the best modern fighter never to win a world title?
I'm not so sure about this, but did David Tua won any World titles?

Marty Jaubowski has 100+ wins, but has lost everytime he has fought for a title. Oba Carr gave Ike Quartey the fight of his life, and was only down 1 round before Trinidad KO'd him. In 60 fights Carr never cashed in on a title. 2 more I though of over the day. Jaubowski kind of belongs in the Sean O'Grady category but he is still the most recent fighter to win 100 bouts.

The thread says "best fighter not to win". Jaubowski was not a good fighter, he was garbage. If I remember correctly, didn't he knock out his own brother?

Yeah he did haha. Just thought he was worth noting since he did have that many wins.
Re: Who is the best modern fighter never to win a world title?
Probably Howard Davis, Jr.

David Tua, Baby Joe Mesi and DaVarryl "Touch of Sleep" Williamson.

I cherish my early knockouts of my brother. Especially the time I hit him over the head, from behind, with a blue plastic rifle.
Re: Who is the best modern fighter never to win a world title?
Everyone knows it is Herol Graham, lost to McCallum by a point unfairly deducted by the ref, Julian Jackson was on the verge of being stopped, cameback from retirement and beat an undefeated Candian fighter and Vinny Paz and then out boxing and knocking down Brewster in his own town before his legs gave way and was prematurely stopped by the bias ref.
Re: Who is the best modern fighter never to win a world title?
When talking about who was the best fighter to not win a world championship, the discussion begins and ends with Graham. You just can't beat him. It's a horrible distinction to be known for but it's true. The guy was insanely talented and choked when it mattered the most.

Nigel benn, eubanks and Watson all avoided him hence why he had to go the non-wbo route.
Re: Who is the best modern fighter never to win a world title?
Colin Jones
He came along just a bit too late.
I would have loved to see Colin fight either Carlos Palomino, Wilfred Benitez or Jose 'Pipino' Cuevas.
