whos ur faviorit boxer NEVER to win a title
Do you mean world title?
If so, then I'm voting for Paul 'Scrap Iron' Ryan.
He was the most exciting fighter I've seen live.
He either got KOd, or he'd KO his opponent, there was no inbetween with him.
yes sorry ment world title
It's got to be Micheal Watson... no contest.
what about david tua he was great to watch
George Chuvalo or Tex Cobb
Did you mean favorite retired boxer that never won a world title?Quote:

Well in that case I have to say Z Gorres and AJ Banal.Quote:

I'm sure there are others, but the first name that came to mind was Oscar Diaz.
My two favourites are Micheal Watson, world class fighter would of been champ if it wasnt for that tragic night, Micheal Brodie got robbed against Willie Jorrin in 2000 i was ringside and felt for the lad.
Herol 'Bomber' Graham was a mighty fine fighter who was never quite good enough to beat Hagler, and by 1987, Bomber was slightly past his prime, even though he would give The Bodysnatcher Mike McCallum hell, and but for a point deduction would of drawn with the Awesome Jamaican.
But Herol was no so much fun to watch, so as far as favorites go, I would say Shea Neary. He was a lot of fun in the early 90s, and won a piece god awful alphabet crap, but when he finally fought at World Class (against Micky Ward); he was found just a little wanting.
umm Jerry Quarry & Edison Miranda are two that come to minde
Joe Hipp
Oba Carr was always a favorite to watch. The elite were just to much for him.
That was in no small part down to me, I picked him to be the fighter of the 90s; with Manny behind him, he could not fail!Quote:

In history...hhhmmm, that's tough one..... Donovan 'Razor' Rudduck comes to mind, exciting fighter, bit of a weight problem later on in his career but he was pretty dangerous...had a chance to beat Tyson in the rematch.
How could I forget George Chuvalo. Great guy with a tragic story.

Yaqui Lopez.Nothing pretty but went to hell and back.Would of loved to have seen Kevin Pompey get a major strap,just a give and take battler that came up short.Once he went north in weight and the wars caught up...it got ugly. Thomas Tate.He had Julian jackson resembling a drunken man on roller skates.

Lopez/Saad MuhammadII should be mandatory viewing to anyone who asks: Why should I watch boxing?Quote:

Paul 'Hurricane' Briggs. Exciting fighter who could easily have got the nod v Adamek twice. Seems those 2 fights took everything he had cos has not fought for ages.

That's for sure and it's kinda hard not to at least appreciate the guy, never back down a challenge and knows how to bring the sparks in.Quote:
