    Britain in the bareknuckle era:

    Heavyweight-Tom Cribb

    Light heavywight-Jem Mace

    Midleweight-Tom Sayers

    Welterweight-Dutch Sam

    Beneath that, you probably sought another ocupation, before the era of weight classes.

    I would have put him in there but Ruiz i believe is born in the US. I was close to maybe even throwing cruisers Ossie Ocasio or Carlos Deleon in there for heavy, or Jose King Roman but Fres was a pretty good fighter and was on the wrong end of a couple of decisions. And was beating a prime or near prime David Tua, also gave a prime Chris Byrd all he wanted.

    Scotland

    Heavy - Ken Shaw
    Light-Heavy - Chic Calderwood
    Middle - Bert Gilroy or Tommy Milligan
    Welter - Gary Jacobs
    Light - Ken Buchanan
    Feather - Scott Harrison
    Bantam - Walter McGowan
    Fly - Benny Lynch

    I'd reckon that Scotland has the best team of Flyweights ever though.

    Exquisite language, with lexicon like that, you must be one hell of a charmer! :good

    Lewis was indeed born in London, but fought for Canada and has close relationship with the Caribbean.

    I am sure Lewis considers himself a man of the world and thus British, which is fair dues, he is.

    Naseem too, has strong links with another Country, in his case Yemen. He rightly considers himself British as well, and I am very pleased that both Naseem and Lewis consider that to be the case. Both are clearly worthy additions to the rich history of the Mother Country of the modern sport.
