Who are the 10 greatest Welsh boxers in history?

Gaz S, do you own Driscolls old gym?

TFFP's list was similar to mine so I wont bother posting it.

But Wilde, Driscoll and Welsh are firmly at teh top.

Good action, thanks. Robsons trunks were a bit , err, revealing, quite put me off my lunch ...it never occurred to me before but the old fighters don't seem to be wearing protectors...when did they come into play? What size gloves were Driscoll and Robson using there? 5oz?

 

Im not sure when ball guards came into play but theres a good chance they werent wearing gum sheilds as Ted Kid Lewis started them in the 20s I think.

Also I think the gloves would have been 3 or 4oz gloves

 

4/5 oz gloves, no gumshields or foul cups as far as I know.

 

8 mins to slow Flea.

That footage of Driscoll is one of the most impressive perforances I have ever seen by any boxer.

 

No gumshields, and what amount to straps as gloves, thats ****ing brutal when you think about it

 

He is just superb one of the best examples of a classical boxer we have on film. I only pick the elite Feathers to beat him like Pep.

I really need to research more Ginger Greb.

It was, but no for Driscoll, did he even get hit in that film?

 

Nothing flush...you have to say that Robson must have been a double hard *******...he took an uppercut about 1:38 into the fight that alone would have stopped a lot of men. Tough hombres

 

Robson was a pretty decent fighter himself and I beleive this was there second meeting and driscoll had seen better days

 

I can just about think of 10 welsh boxers alone. Never mind 10 bloody great ones!

 

Greg don't try and be a smart arse and give me a list. I know you're reading this right now.:bart

 

Hey - you ******* - Enzo Calzaghes stable alone has had at least 10 all time greats
