    Anyone remember Akeem Anifowoshe aka Kid Akeem? He was a talented prospect but he's mostly known for his great fight with Robert Quiroga but sadly his life was cut short following that fight.

    The bar is set incredibly low with a lot of the names mentioned in this thread.

    A lot of these fighters could only get to a very bad level.

    Surely you should only mention fighters that managed to at the very least win a world title.

    I sparred an Afican boxer when I was working in Meekatharra, Western Australia. 4 times a week for 3 months we'd spar. One of the best I ever faced. By the end of the 3 months we were neck and neck. He couldn't lay a glove on me at the start. But then I was chasing shadows at times. Incredible foot work and evasive movement.

    Very light on his feet.
