    Who was the best fighter in your opinion to come from Holland/The Nederlands ?

    I can only think of Raymond Joval, regarding Dutch fighters.

    Who else ?

    Super Brian Nileson. Bronze medalist, and not a bad boxer for a fat beer drinking white guy. I think he was dutch?

    Ruid Koopmans was a long time euro light heavy champ and only lost to EMM in his prime, challenging for his title.

    Luc Van Dam..middleweight contender in the 40's and 50's.

    There was a Dutch guy who came to Australia in the 30's...He lost twice to a world ranked welter here, named Jack Carroll..I think he beat guys Kid Azteca, Baby Joe Gans and Ceferino Garcia.
    I cant remember his name but he would probably be the greatest all things considered.

    The only other one I can think of is Tuur..who was WBO superfeather champ for a couple of years.

    The Dutch prefer their Muay Thai kickboxing...They are a world power at that.

    Oh and dont forget the Dutch Sonny Liston. :lol:

    I would say it got little better for the Dutch than when Regilio Tuur was around, he was a pretty fair fighter, and for a time, genuine world class.
