Britain's two greatest middleweights, Jock McAvoy and Bert Gilroy from that golden era of greats!

the BT express, bernard taylor

Tony ayala before his first sence he look very explosive and aggresive from what footage ive seen??? Ike ieabuchi was a very strong and beat David Tua throwing a high work rate of punches for a heavyweight what alot of heavies would of bin unable to cope with. What about Billy Collins?? Heard he was a ver good prospect??? Again not seen much footage??

Dujuan Johnson.

Actually Dempsey ducked Wills, and it was Tunney who ducked Godfrey.

Tunney didn't duck Godfrey. Godfrey was not the #1 contender when Tunney was the champion.

I was doing a lot of random acts of kindness. I see that the anti-Tunney fiction still pops up. Thought that was put to rest.

Arguably, the greatest Light-Heavyweight who ever lived

Australian Cliff Sarmardin, fought in the mid nineties at super featherweight for 24 wins from 24 starts (14 K.O.s) including a win over Lovemore N'dou.

Troy Waters, first man to sit Terrible Terry Norris on his arse, and in an exciting, topsy turvy world tittle battle too.

Wow. Sarmardin. There's a name I haven't heard in eons

i cant see gene tunney dodging any type of brawler after facing and beating greb and dempsey to name just two of the meanest, and he was going to beat a jabber and mover every day of the week. tunney's record - almost alone among fighters - tells the real story in detail.

Moe Szyslac, he got out of boxing becauseof politics, that and he got knocked out in his last 17 fights.

Jock MvAvoy, on his best night, sure, why not.

Bert? Mmmmmmm, I don't think so.

Forty times in a row, in fact, he was put to sleep. Plus politics. It's all politics D

I AGREE IN MOST OTHER ERA'S WOULD OF BEEN CHAMPS

POOR ROLDAN HAD TO BE THE GUY IN HAGLERS SHADOW

How about Johnny Persol?

I always thought he could have been light-heavy champ somewhere along the line.

Teófilo Stevenson, Laszlo Papp are my picks

Teofilo coundn't even deal with Igor Vysotsky in two tries.Many of the pro's at that time would've dealt him the death blow.
