    Well I was just considering one hit wonders guys who won a world title but I see we are throwing in guys who have just had one big win also so here are a few

    Primo Carnera--Won a HW title spent most of his career as a 6'5" punching bag

    Ingmar Johanssen--Floyd was his biggest win

    Ricardo Mayorga--His highlight was Forrest

    Gerry Cooney---The night he beat Norton will always be his greatest moment in the ring

    Frankie Randall---Chavez was his highlight

    I like your list, Frankie Randall was the highlight (I forgot about him), but Mayarga should not be on the list. Six Heads Lewis was a champ that was getting alot of recognition for his skills at the time and Mayarga was man handling him before the technical stoppage, he then came back in the rematch and dominated Lewis again on way to a brutal KO. That exposed Lewis and he never was the same after those beatings. And is far as Forrest is concerned not only did he KO him but he came back and showed he could beat him in a UD boxing match, he was more than a one hit wonder. After all that he still became the 154 champ after Tito took the life out of his career.

    Just thought of a couple more.....

    Randy Turpin, shocked the world against Ray Robinson then lost the rematch went downhill from there on,

    Henry Cooper! Is he even a one punch hit wander seeing as he famous mostly for losing valiantly twice to Ali, coming oh so close to beating him in their first fight.

    Corrie Sanders

    Knocked out by Rahman and Nate Tubbs, best wins were guys like Bobby Czyz in his last fight, Bert Cooper, Johnny Nelson who's not a heavyweight, and Al Cole, and was hardly even an active fighter and just absolutely destroyed Wlad.
