Interested in classical Scotish fighters

His brother runs a betting shop, William.

Sorry, i'm off now, i'll stop ****ing around.

 

here's a bit of info from a Scottish website http://www.blantyre.biz/Scottish-Boxing-Hall-of-Fame.html

also Elky Clark was listed in the ring record books by Nat Fleischer in the Top 10 ATG flyweights right into the early 1960s

and Alex Lafferety, also a forgotton great like Gilroy and Keenan, though Keenan is remembered more as he fought his top years in the 50s, not as long ago as the others.

see what you can discover about Jim Brady, Dundee, probably Scotlands greatest bantamweight!

Scotland had some right great fighters to be sure, especially from the Golden Age 30s, 40s and 50s.

 

Need to research alot of these guys.

Keenan is definitly a Scottish great, a top contender as a Bantamweight but also a good promoter who was mates with Sonny Liston.

He is interesting me at the moment.

 

Didnt he make Liston back down?

 

I'm bumping this, as I have researched about Cowboy McCormack, who I feel is very overlooked.

 

Cowboy McCormack the middleweight KO'd Chic Calderwood and that's not bad going Calderwood was a legitimate L-HW world contender when there was still only 1 champion in each division!

and Ageless Archie Moore made a very impressive statement about Calderwood in response to a proposed meeting while Archie was in Britain, something to the effect "your too good and I'm too old"

that's says quite a lot for both Calderwood and McCormack!

 

I beleive it was cuts that stopped calderwood wasnt it? against McCormack.

Cowboy made his mark at Middleweight though.

 

:goodyes, he threatened to throw liston out of the windae

 

I've always thought Murray Sutherland's career would have been much better if the 168 pound division would have come along 5 or 6 years before it did.
