hmmm this thread didn't really turn out like I expected. Basically I had looked for fighters who had fought and lost to a lot of the greats without ever really being considered great themselves. So guys like Hearns & Duran, and every guy RJJ faced ( except the ones who beat him) don't really fit the mold, guys like Ramirez, LaPorte, Quarry, would.

Interesting though that Duran is considered by many "experts" to be greater than everyone who ever beat him, but I think we've already had that thread.
