Best boxing team by country

[janitor]

Britain in the bareknuckle era:

Heavyweight-Tom Cribb

Light heavywight-Jem Mace

Midleweight-Tom Sayers

Welterweight-Dutch Sam

Beneath that, you probably sought another ocupation, before the era of weight classes.

I would have put him in there but Ruiz i believe is born in the US. I was close to maybe even throwing cruisers Ossie Ocasio or Carlos Deleon in there for heavy, or Jose King Roman but Fres was a pretty good fighter and was on the wrong end of a couple of decisions. And was beating a prime or near prime David Tua, also gave a prime Chris Byrd all he wanted.

[GPater11093]

Scotland

Heavy - Ken Shaw
Light-Heavy - Chic Calderwood
Middle - Bert Gilroy or Tommy Milligan
Welter - Gary Jacobs
Light - Ken Buchanan
Feather - Scott Harrison
Bantam - Walter McGowan
Fly - Benny Lynch

I'd reckon that Scotland has the best team of Flyweights ever though.

Bill Squires
Tony Mundine
Dave Sands
George Barnes

Jeff Fenech

Exquisite language, with lexicon like that, you must be one hell of a charmer!

Lewis was indeed born in London, but fought for Canada and has close relationship with the Caribbean.

I am sure Lewis considers himself a man of the world and thus British, which is fair dues, he is.

Naseem too, has strong links with another Country, in his case Yemen. He rightly considers himself British as well, and I am very pleased that both Naseem and Lewis consider that to be the case. Both are clearly worthy additions to the rich history of the Mother Country of the modern sport.
