I don't know if this has been debated on here before; but what is everyone's opinion on who would be the greatest fighter who never won a world tiltle?? May be a stupid question, but one of my picks is Emanuel Augustus. Great fighter in my opinion, just sometimes seemed to want to dance more than fight. Jerry Quarry is another of mine. Please only 1 sad click per person if this is a gay topic. :-\
Earnie Shavers
Charles Burley
Herol Graham
Razor Ruddock
David Tua
Ike Ibeabuchi
Jerry Quarry
Jimmy Young
Emanuel Augustus was nothing close to great. He wasn't even that good. He was/is a journeyman fighter who entertains the crowd. That's it. It's a disgrace the way this man wasted his talent. Cuz he was talented. I'll give him that. But never any good. The best recent fighter to never win a title I think is Oba Carr
Good point; I guess I should have also said fighters who could have been great had they tried harder, but then it would have been an endless topic. Sad click me please. ::**Quote:

Not sure if he was good for the sport though ??? Was always willing to fight anyone at the drop of a hat
but sometimes his 'motivation' was questionable ;)
Too bad his three title shots where against Trinidad, Quartey and de la Hoya. Talk about coming up in the wrong time.Quote:

Another Holman Wiilliams
Andrew Golota???
Emanuel (Burton) Augustus was maybe one of the funest, but there are so many throughout history W/O a title on their resume that were alot better.
cc. good one. Also I dont think his rival Cocoa Kid won a title either.Quote:

IMO the following guys DON'T qualify as GREATS without a world title.

Kid Azteca
Charley Burley
Kid Lewis
Baby Casanova
Baby Arizmendi
Fritzie Zivic
Fritzie Zivic :stars:
Karma won't let me repeat my CC, but this is a great shout. If Riddick Bowe didn't have a fist magnet tape to his knackers, Golota would have been a champion.Quote:
