    i know they say punchers are born, but over the years ive noticed that the welsh boxing comunity produce harder hitting boxers on average, i beleive this is to do with the young lads starting out on the right foot by learning to punch correct, in turn when a naturaly heavy handed boxer takes up the sport, his ability is more likely to be encouraged in wales. This leads to them being ko specialist. even the welsh amateurs don't flap around with open gloves. just something ive made a note of, anybody else got an opinion on this point.?:good

    I wonder who has more heart, the Irish or the Scottish. On home ground, I'd say the Scottish tbh.

    Apart from the Ghost and possibly Enzo Mac, i cant really think of another heavy handed puncher from wales, and please dont say Gary Lockett.

    No... P4P Naseem Hamed is probably britains hardest ever puncher and if you look at the current landscape England has many more power punchers

    Benn, Hamed, Bruno, even Hatton and Lewis, they all had ridiculous ko ratio's against Good opposition, England takes this.
