    I kinda hesitated because he hasn`t achieved what other fighters from Europe have, maybe, Cerdan beat Zale, but Zale was said to be past it.Plus I forgot South America, I would have gone for Monzon and Central America, I would certainly say Duran.

    I don’t think Central America is a continent, but Duran always deserves a mention[/QUOTE]

    None listed as from Antartica on boxrec, though for some reason they have a category.

    I looked up some demographics and as far as Antarctica goes only 10 people are recorded for being born in West Antarctica, not sure what that portends for the rest of the continent.

    I'm surprised it's that many. I don't think there's any permanent population.
