For me it has to be Kirkland Lang also Colin jones was very unlucky.
Although in modern times I've always wondered how good an injury free Dean Francis could have been. A forgotten talent that went unfulfilled in my opinion.
Who's are your picks guys?

Alan Rudkin has too be up there, what a fighter he was! Unlucky he came at such a tough era with Harada, Rose. Cracking boxer.

Alan Rudkin is my shout his level of opposition is stunning
Had to beat two former world champions just to win the British and Commonwealth title in Caldwell and McGowan
Fought a close fight with Harada robbed against Rose ran into a prime Olivares who was a wrecking ball at the time all of them away

He's still in jail. From Wiki:
He is not eligible for another hearing until May 1, 2012 as confirmed by a Nevada Board of Parole Commissioners staff member, at which time Ibeabuchi will be 39; Ibeabuchi also faces likely deportation owing to his crimes.

This thread ("Most talented British fighters to never win a world title") used to get put up once a month, as did the "Whatever happened to Ike Ibeauchi?" thread (hence my reference to him)

Ah, I didn't realise you were joking. Yeah, this topic has been done to death.
