Who was the greatest Heavyweight to never become World Champion?

First topic message reminder :

Lots of fighters we could pick here I guess

Must admit after reading a Ron Lyle tribute in Boxing Monthly and looking at his record he would be a good contender for it. Victories include Gerry Cooney, Joe Bugner, Earnie Shavers, Jimmy Ellis, Oscar Bonavena. Was beating Ali on points when the stoppage happened

Who in your opinion do you think it is folks?

Are we not going to have a mention of Burley based on his 100% stoppage victory record against heavies?

As does Maccarinelli
