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.

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.

Wasn't the Ruiz fight a title fight?
