    I thought Herol Graham legitmately lost to Mike McCallum, Sumbu Kalambay 1. But he for 100 percent should of got the nod in the rematch against Sumbu Kalambay. Herol Graham wasn't really defensive in the Sumbu Kalambay fights, he got hit very often.
    The first fight with Kalambay was for the european title and number one slot, not the world title. That was without Ingle who sold his rights to the Irish promoter, and he said his head was not there, blew his shot though.

    Against McCallum it was very close and he should have won that. The second time he fought Kalamaby was a robbery, think he knocked Kalamabay down at least once but in Italy he was not going to get the decision.

    Brodie was unlucky too.

    didn't expect anyone to agree with what i said about Watson which is understandable. Of course as i said he was still young enough to win a title if he hadn't been injured.

    That would have been entertaining, he would be chasing Eubanks and Benn at super middle and maybe wining a title to get the return. He would not have been afraid to take the top Americans but could not see him beat Toney or Jones.

    Henry whartons a great shout, he was around in a really strong era of super middles, not many men went 12rounds with benn, eubanks and robin reed! Hard as nails!!

    Tony Sibson is one that hasn't been mentioned yet.

    Billy Schwer was doing very well against Ruelas before the bruising.

    Henry Wharton came close

    Michael Watson

    I'm going to stick my neck out and say Joe Bugner, i've been watching him fight recently and the guy was pretty good. Several heavyweights worse than him have won titles that's for sure.

    He beats Cooper which pissed people off that he had to leave the country and he did not seemingly really try enough.
