Okay, folks! We are going to do it like these for the last 5 spots. The most times a boxer be selected, the higher he will be in the ranking. Just name 5 fighters that you believe that were great fighters, but never won a world title for the last 5 spots. And name 3 honorary mentions...okay? I will...

Gomez tko/ko 8

Duran-Moore 2..that's what I think of this one (though Medal did hit harder than Moore and that's a lot to say!)

Fully agree with you!

Ruiz UD in boring fight. x2..hate to join this train, but Ruiz was really to boring fights what Arturo Gatti was to action ones..the only fight of his I like is Holyfield 2. The Tua and Haye fights were quite exciting and very satisfying. :lol: specially (Im betting) the Tua one, right??!

Total dominance...

Who, how and why?

(PS I think Gomez has this one)

This could either turn into Moorer-Cooper 2 or be a very boring distance fight. Either way, I favor Moorer.

Ali UD a bit like the Ernie Terrell thing...

Duran Duran!!!!

Forrest..unless Davis does a Ricardo Mayorga..and he was capable of doing that.

In 1984-5 Bruno wins...Page was too inconsistent at this time.

She was a legend....like Sophia Loren or Bette Davis kind of big in her time.

Through history we have had fighters with, like 200 plus fights without a single title shot, yet also boxers like Vasil Lomachenko who get their title tries in their second or third fight and even a few world champions who got crowned in their third bout, and others who won it on their 90th or so......

In other words, the Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. of his time??

Interesting fight I had no idea even took place at all...
