what fighters that aren't top 100 P4P ever would have a good chance to beat some of the greats?

take someone like michael nunn not one of the great middle weights but he would still be a tough fight for say hagler ,no one likes to fight a tall slick southpaw ,a fight that happened X3 was ali norton who beat ali yet no one comparing there records would of picked norton but his style was a nightmare for ali. there's others but i don't want to answer my own question .

    Sam Langford should be at the top of any list of ATG's who never won a title, he was one of history's elite fighters.

    David Tua would have beat half if not more of histories heavyweight champs, he was at least as heavy a hitter as Earnie Shavers, and neither of them ever held the heavyweight title. I still think Tua at 50+ could have put a scare in Vitali's glass jawed little brother Wlad.

    Charley Burley and Bennie Briscoe round out my list, both these guys could have given anyone in history trouble.

    Anyone who was a one punch KO artist. Guys like Earnie Shavers, Randall Bailey, Shannon Briggs, Cleveland Williams, etc. They were all super easy to outclass, but if they caught you even ONCE with their money punch everything could change.

    history is full of fighters who arn't given their due credit because they wern't the biggest standouts in their era or they fought at a time of weak opposition.

    i think turpin could beaten a prime martinez i think Iran barkley would of beaten Joey Maxim and Maybe Billy Conn.
