    Tiger and Nelson without question. Also, rumor has it, SNV. I'd like to give a shout-out to Brian Mitchell too. A very underrated fighter. HOFer too. Quartey was also snazzy as ****. :deal

    Edit:

    You can read about Niko's Russo-African origin theory here:

    :think I always wondered who defeated Dwayne The Rock Scorpian King and his hordes of Anubis the first time round. All fits into place now.

    Quartey is very underrated, Azzumah Nelson is king.

    Lovemore N'dou is the greatest journeyman ever.

    Ike Quartey was the best fighter to come out of Africa IMO.

    Beau Jack ain't African, brah.

    Anyways: Dick Tiger, Azumah Nelson, Sumbu Kalambay, Nana Konadu, and Ike Quartey would be my top 5.

    Cerdan was born in French Algeria, but I don't really accept him as an African fighter. He was what is known as pied noir, which is basically just the term for Europeans born in French Algeria during that period.
