    When the fighter is that good, you claim them! In my one although Minter said his hometown was Crawley and his family did indeed live there, he actually lives about 15 miles away.

    Current Active Boxers:
    1. Carl Frampton
    2. Jamie Conlan
    3. Ryan Burnett/Anthony Cacace
    All within a 5 mile Radius from my house in Belfast.
    I loved watching Darren Corbett back in the day, he just missed the list.

    Recently a wall mural was revealed at the end of my road for Boxing champions in the Ardoyne/Bone district of North Belfast. Loads of boxing talent for a small area!

    Harsh on Clinton; Wayne was fun, a big puncher, but Clinton had a lot more quality in his work.

    Fair enough you're probably right, I didn't put a whole lot of thought into the order other than Duke is definitely #1 and I thought if Wayne and Clinton fought and disregarding Wayne's size advantage, he'd probably still pull of a win more often than not, is close though, he was also a 'World' Champion and ?maybe? Had the slightly better CV...

    Sad state of affairs in the ****hole that is Bolton.

    The only 2 I can think of is Amir and ****ing Haroon Khan.

    Although Tyson Fury trains here, so I think we can claim the gypsy king.
