Can you name some fighters that were right on the cusp of greatness but never quite got there? Any division, any era.

Tony Ayala Jr comes to mind along with Charley Burley. Jerry Quarry was really good but fought in the era of Ali and Frazier. Billy Graham was a great fighter that never won a championship and many feel he was robbed vs Gavilan. Yaqui Lopez comes to mind as a fine fighter that unfortuanately couldn't beat the tough Saad Muhammad when they fought. Good question sir as you really had me thinking about this one.

Jerry Quarry didn't get it because of the great competition he fought. Oscar Bonavena didn't get it because he partied too much and ultimately it lead to his death.

Tony Ayala. Could've, would've, should've. He was his own worst enemy.
