You can take Mcgirt right off this list ?? In prime and at peak he was top teir without question.
I guess what were asking is who is/was the best "also ran" kind of fighter??Journeymen.?I'll say Harold Brazier for myself.

Holmes could be 100 and probally jab,stick and have enough to slip past alot of guys (except Tyson ).He gave Holyfield all he wanted (as much as I hate to admit it),That cut was scary and His jab was always a problem for anyone.
Good call on Wilson Fight,Mercer was his own worst enemy at times with lack of conditioning and that was a horrible descision it that fight.Wilson beat him.
