The great non champions

[elmersalsa]

Yes

How about this guy?: Ernie Schaaf

A solid heavyweight contender, but I would still have Quarry, Folley and Machen before him.

Jerry Quarry is great choice.

Any objections against Quarry at #37?

He gave everyone and their mother everything they could handle!!

Bivins really deserves to be on it, don't think he ever held a title did he?

Jimmy Bivins is already in the list

[scartissue]

I think Jerry Quarry is a great addition to your list. I would mention also...

Zora Folley - who beat Oscar Bonavena, Bob Foster, George Chuvalo, Doug Jones, Eddie Machen, Henry Cooper, Nino Valdez and Bob Cleroux.

Eddie Machen - who beat Nino Valdez, Joey Maxim, Bob Baker, Hurricane Jackson, Doug Jones, Jerry Quarry and Johnny Holman.

Zora Folley - who beat Oscar Bonavena, Bob Foster, George Chuvalo, Doug Jones, Eddie Machen, Henry Cooper, Nino Valdez and Bob Cleroux.

And gave Ali a pretty good fight.

[scartissue]

Anybody got an objection on Jack Chase?

[elmersalsa]

Jack Chase fought the greats Archie Moore, Holman Williams and Charley Burley.

[chrisjs1985]

Chase is a great pick. Better than a number already on there IMO. As is Jose Medel, who I still can't believe hasn't cracked the list.

Didnt he fight for a world title twice??

Eijiro Murata??? (maybe?)

Antonio, I think Murata is a good choice, but it was his draws with Chandler and Pintor which stand out on his record as his best results. Personally, I would have Joe Medel, Jesus Pimental, Bernardo Caraballo, Alan Rudkin and Famoso Gomez ahead of him from 118. But that's just my opinion.

[elmersalsa]

How about this guy at #39?: Zora Folley!

[scartissue]

I think Zora Folley is a fine choice.
