    Nope.

    No.1 is Oscar Nielsen. ATG LW. Denmarks only HOF fighter. Conqueror of the great Joe Gans. Oscar Nielsen is of course better known as Battling Nelson.

    No. 2 can only be Mikkel Kessler.

    No. 3 is harder. Maybe Jørgen Johansen who was the first to beat the great Duilio Loi. After that fight Loi went undefeated for 8 years before being outpointed by Carlos Ortiz.

    I'm ok with Bogs or Bredahl as well.

    I posted something about this some time ago wondering about GS City. It's kinda like the 757 area code in Va where Iverson, Vick, Pernel Whitaker, Alonzo Mourning, Lawrence Taylor, Plaxico Buress all came from. They're all fast twitch speedy athletes. Coincidentally it is also a coastal area.
