Great Scottish Fighters

here's a list of Scotland's best and most successfull fighters for you. http://www.eastsideboxing.com/forum/showthread.php?p=6561801#post6561801

 

The greatest scottish fighter ever and in my opinion british boxing history is Benny Lynch you should defiantly talk about him when he won the title in Manchester against Jackie Brown and him destroying an undefeated Peter Kane and then his tragic decline and death at 33 years old, and talk about Ken Buchanan and him winning the title in Puerto Rico when nobody gave him a chance beating a great champion in Ismael Laguna twice and his fight with the legendary Roberto Duran and how he is one of the rare modern day british fighters who was respected by the Americans.

if you want anymore help with anymore information just let me know and I will gladly help.

 

Gilroy is a must, he sucessfully held Scottish titles so maybe that should be given a mention, because in a purely scottish title context he was arguably the best.

Also Wee Walter is a must.

 

You guys are missing a pretty big 'un.....

Johnny Hill the first Scot to be a 'contender' for World title honours, died training for a bout with Frankie Gennaro.
