I've been doing some research on the topic of "who could have been Moshiach based on Chazal" an example of one such person is Chizkiyahu Hamelech as it says in Sanhedrin 94.
If anyone knows any names with a source, please post it here.
Thank You.

Are you counting people like Bar Kochba who were thought to be Mashiach but were later disqualified, or only people about whom Chazal day would have actually been Mashiach had we been worthy?– DonielFAug 19, 2019 at 1:32

1@DonielF both, as long as you can provide a source.– user18660Aug 19, 2019 at 2:07

@user18660 How far are you willing to push the Bar Kochba-type category? Does Shabesai Tzvi count, since many Rabbanim thought he was actually Mashiach?– DonielFAug 19, 2019 at 3:00

1Does this include the section in the gemara where they argue over the moshiach's name?– rosendsAug 19, 2019 at 10:33
