    You know it's funny, Italy doesn't spring instantly to mind when thinking of european countries for a top 3 ATG list, but this is strong as hell.

    Duilio loi is actually one of my favourite boxers ever to watch old footage of, class.:good

    Patrizio Oliva was handy too.

    Not forgetting the great Vincenzo Nardiello, who nearly went toe to toe with Nigel Benns dad.

    3: Ayub Kalule/Gert Bo Jacobsen

    Small poppulation, small choice of fighters - but a decent top 2, at least.

    Honestly haven't thought about the guy for over five years.

    I'm away to spend the next few hours reminiscing.

    I could imagine him very bitter about English fighters still.:lol:

    Something always went wrong with him didnt it, he was a slapstick fighter. He even had a flap of hair like a combover that came over his face when he was angry. Brilliant.
