    Glad to see people giving all these props to Boza-Edwards in the other thread. Best Ugandan fighter ever, or was it Mugabi ?

    Who you would vote for ?

    John Mugabi
    Boza-Edwards
    Kassim Ouma
    Ayub Kalule

    Who was the best fighter out of these 4 ??

    Boza-Edwards for me, so many great fights! Kalule, like Boza, only lost to really very good fighters and score some solid wins so he can be second. Mugabi scores third mainly due to his guts vs Hagler (of course!) and again only really lost to the very best (and Duane Thomas' thumb!) and was exciting on the way up. I don't know a huge amount about Ouma, he mixed in good company, but seemed to become more of an opponent as his career went on and this never happened to the other guys on your list so he is fourth.

    Boza for me. Those Chacon fights are desert island stuff.

    Everyone is entitled to their own opinions. But Ouma wasn't a better fighter than Mugabi. Or anyone else on this list.
    Ouma though is a nice very down to earth man, met him a few times when he trained in my area.

    I think Mugabi sucks.

    He's extremely overrated for all the same reasons Golota is.
