    WTF is wrong with this country? It's tiny, the fighters they produce are ridiculous.

    Could see Joe above Driscoll. Not sure what to do with seven through ten. Very difficult. Anyone I missed out? Very, very good fighters from this tiny country.

    01 - Jimmy Wilde
    02 - Freddie Welsh
    03 - Jim Driscoll
    04 - Joe Calzaghe
    05 - Howard Winstone
    06 - Tommy West
    07 - Frank Moody
    08 - Percy Jones
    09 - Tommy Farr
    10 - Colin Jones

    Joe Erskine and Eddie Thomas weren't half bad either.

    BIG fan of Colin, but one of the most frustrating fighters ever to like. All he had to do was move those hands and I feel he KOs McCrory Curry all but he waited and waited.... he's probably still waiting.

    Steve Robinson was a featherweight world champion back in the 1990s and defended his title quite a few times before he ran into a young Naseem Hamed and lost his title.
