    Hands down it's Dick Tiger for me. I just love watching film of that guy. Always strong in his stance and always moving forward.

    Agreed, his KOs of Spider Webb & Gene Armstrong were pure brutality.

    Not only Nigeria, the entire continent!
    Double undisputed champ. Fought everyone available in the 50’s and early 60’s in the talent loaded middleweights, getting no favours in tight fights.
    Past his best he went onto win the 175 lb title. Eventually, not long before his premature death, losing it to prime Bob Foster.

    Sam Peter on the strength of giving a bunch of good fights after I got into boxing and a bunch of funny interviews.

    Tiger was a legend,but my choice Kid Akeem.Very talented guy with tragic destiny ,who was robbed against Quiroga in one of the best fights in 90-x

    There’s also a less appreciated one where he tries to tell Merchant that he found a ball on his morning run and that it was a sign from God but Merchant pulls the mic before he can finish.
