In other words, he would have been more famous if he'd fought in a different era?

Jerry Quarry. Had he not fought in the era of Ali and Frazier I think he would have been heavy weight champ until Foreman appeared..

I would say Larry Holmes, he had the misfortune to be the champion right after Ali and never got the proper credit or respect in my opinion. He is on of the best in boxing history but is often overlooked.

Larry Holmes. He never got the credit he deserved. He beat the best of his generation. He beat Ali. He's held the belt for a long, long time. He's one of the best of all time but is often overlooked and underrated.

I'm not a huge fan of his, however Lennox Lewis was a solid Heavyweight who had faced some decent competition. I think he was over shadowed by the hype always surrounding Tyson, Holyfield, and to some extent Foreman.

I see a lot of people picked Larry Holmes and I agree but when the dust clears Larry Holmes will be the no>#2 heavy weight champion ofthe world of all time

Zora Folley. Never given a title shot until Ali gave him one. Was aging.

How about Eddie Machon. Ali ducked this guy or Machon couldn't get a shot.
