    It isn`t often that we get ATG`s in their primes to fight on our shores. So the Sun thought it would be fun to select ten elite fighters Colin Hart has been priveleged to see to see in the flesh in British rings over the last 50--odd years.
    How does Loma fighting in Britain compare to these fighters and fights on British shores in the past?
    Cooper v Ali (1963)
    Griffith v Brian Curtis (1964)
    Napoles v Ralph Charles (1972)
    Foster v Finnegan (1972)
    Hagler v Minter (1980)
    Arguello v Watt (1981)
    Barrera v Paul Lloyd (1999)
    M.Tyson v Julius Francis (2000)
    GGG v Brook (2016)

    He is not yet an ATG
    What he is is a current pound for pound great

    He will of course leave the legacy of an ATG

    So he's only the 2nd one in almost 20 years time? Didn't Wlad fight in the UK?

    I feel Ali was really off colour against Cooper that night though and being floored in that fight was a low point in his career.
