Top fighters who didn't win a belt (since 2000)

Used to be a lot of really good fighters would never go on to win a belt. These days, there are plenty to go around and it seems like all the top fighters have belts.

Any recent examples of really top level guys who never won a belt?

 

Tua?

Although he was at his best before 2000.

 

Denis ShaftediKov is pretty good. he brung the fight to robert easter jr for 12 hard rounds only to get cheated by corruption in Ohio.

 

My stream wouldn't work. How did you score the fight Neil?

 

Cotto...or wait..or is he a bottom?

 

7-5 for easter jr. a very tough and rough fight. 2 judges had it a shutout

 

Rocky Juarez...

he's a hunter! he dont give a shit about belts, he's lookin for HIDES

 

Golota

 

Matthysse. He rightfully SHOULD have won one against Peterson.

 

Can't remember if he was a waste of talent or just way overrated but if you'd said in 2000 that bojado would never even compete for a title it woulda surprised people.

 

Ali funeka

 

I remember when he was robbed blind against Guzman.

 

Oba Carr today would be a three times champ.

 

In retrospect, we overrated his talent. He likely never would have been P4P material, BUT... if he was dedicated he definitely could have at least won a belt.
