your favourite foriegn fighter who never won a world title

[THEBUTCH]

Romanov (aka Yuri Ramanau) was a quality fighter.

He did an absolute job on Bobby Vanzie. He bounced Bobby up & down off the canvas I don't know how many times !

Then again, Graham Earl was outstanding beating Yuri on points. A superb win for Graham

[KiwiRider]

Tua.

Not foreign to me, but definitely a shout to the Tuaman.
Truly a wonderful man, probably too nice for the evils of the boxing game, and Kevin 'bloody' Barry.

loved one of him, freakish punching power. And not tall yet could spark people half a foot taller than him. Good am too, medalled at Worlds and Olympics whilst still a teenager. Hope he's doing well now.

He is mate, got his gym where he gives his time to wayward teens teaching and training them, as well as keeping the lights on of course.
Also a good woman with the financial smarts he never had, and of course his faith.

AND STILL...

AN ABSOLUTE BEAST!

that is great to hear Kiwi. He will be great with young people. Glad he is settled.

[wrighty]

Ref Romanov, that WOOODYA guy on YouTube would have it. He's got everything lol

[Sammy Scaff]

Are my eyes totally gone or have we got this far without mentioning Earnie Shavers?
Truly a man out of time.

Love Allotey
Floyd Robertson
Roy Ankrah

In about three years' time, I should have a book on them and a few more globetrotting Ghanaians from 1950s to early 1970s who paved the way for David Poison Kotey and Azumah Nelson. What those guys went through is ridiculous. Will post a bit more about it in a few months.

Make sure you don’t use the phrase, teak tough

Quite right - an awful cliche.

[Flump]

At heavyweight, would have to be
Ron Lyle
Earnie Shavers
Jimmy Young
Gerry Cooney
Razor Ruddock
David Tua
Ray Mercer

[chinarich]

Choi Tseveenpurev

[Controversial]

[SeanBrennan]

How about Butterbean

i do appreciate the big guy for smashing that wwf tough man winner dude though

[NoScoutingReports]

In terms of current fighters, quite like Jose Zepeda. Been in a fair few entertaining fights, particularly v Baranchyk, and has just fallen short of that world title thus far.

[margaret thatcher]

the baranchyk fight was f@cking mental, one of the craziest you'll see

Sebastian Rothmann, remember him well as he fought so many Brits, WBU and IBO champ but never one of the big 4, was so good to watch

Micky Ward
I remember going to his fight with Shea Neary in London.
He was a tough un

Micky would be up there for me too, his brawls against Gatti....

[Crease]

I remember Sinan Samil Sam after he defeated Danny Williams - I wanted to see him do well.

That was utter madness wasn't it! I actually quite like the IBO title to be fair. Ezra was a worthy champ

I do too, enough good champs have had it to add legitimacy imo. It looks good too.

Did Dmtri Pirog win a world title?
