    Anton Raadik? Just a guess with his size. Don't have a lot to go on here, Burt.

    A tip. I am from a European country, which spawned the greatest man
    of the 20th century...I was a champion of my country, and one of the
    hardest punchers of my division ever, sadly forgotten today...

    Jock McAvoy?

    His real name was Bamford and Bamford is the name of a shotgun manufacturer. A good guess anyway.

    Urtain comes to my mind but I know that's not the answer, ok lets see, a sawed off shotgun from Britain,,,,I'm going to go with Dangerous Danny McAlinden who had 28 ko's in 31 wins. The greatest man of the 20th, Winston Churchill perhaps? Its said he had the greatest repertoire of the English dictionary of any person of his time.

    Well, I don't think its Urtain anyways, for one thing he has been mentioned in ESB fairly often.

    I know. I was just joking. It was just interesting considering who the greatest man of the 20th century would be if he were Spanish.

    jimmy wilde?
    Welsh flyweight, 5ft 2 ish, 98 kos from 139 wins (4 losses), one of the hardest hitters of all time?
    Id have picked him first but im sure a heavyweight hits harder than a flyweight unless you meant pound for pound
