    Luis Kaplan and Bennie Bass deserve a mention. Two tough relentless brawlers/swarmers in IBHOF.

    Perhaps someone should start a thread on best fighters from Novascotia.

    Carpentier doesn't belong to #3. One of the most overated fighters of all time. Besides, he should have got two more losses, for Gunboat Smith and Ted Lewis fights.

    He clearly lost the Gunboat fight on TKO, only saved by his manager, who used his influence to rule it a foul. And in Lewis fight it was an actual foul, hitting on a break. Throw these two "wins" out and he's left with almost nothing.

    Don't worry, I couldn't have thought up half the names without your list (and the other half without T's) :good

    Excluding active fighters (need a few years' hindsight to judge them properly), I think Ken Buchanan was the best. If not him, then Nino Benvenuti or Ted Kid Lewis.

    :thumbsup You´re right, the FW Lynch is definitely a p4p greatest European, his fight with Kane was surely a great fight, which I would like to see... :yep
