Add Tarrasch and Pillsbury to that and I'll be happy.
David Bronstein. He almost got Botvinnik in one championship. Unfortunately (from what I can remember) he got a bad oversight in a single game and the match ended in a draw, thus allowing Botvinnik to continue as champion.

I don't know......he..he...
Tarrasch, or Rubenstein

Not really - that's just Soviet/FIDE propaganda.

The FIDE title lost legitimacy because of Soviet chicanery and manipulation.

Obviously the FIDE championship is disputed, and Kasparov was probably the stronger player. But are you claiming that Fischer was world champion from 1975-85? He refused to defend his title.

He resigned his FIDE title in 1975, in a dispute about match terms.
I have always wondered who is the greatest player to have not become a world champion?
