Most Famous Boxers By Country

Live but on TV.

Archie Moore is my favorite fighter. I admire how he kept improving over a very tough career. Many of the great fighters were prodigies, exceptional from the beginning, but Moore had to work his way into greatness.

The internet has been around quite a while. I think I got into it in my fifties. I am not really all that computer literate compared to younger folks. As for using computers, at work I had to use computers from the early 1980's on.

 

And if you think the fighters you mentioned are more well-known, that's fine. But you're the one who got aggressive with me about it. You got in my face - so to speak - and said you never heard of them, when you could have simply just added to the thread as so many have done. And I don't care how many initials you have after your name, kid, because you have a long way to go before you learn the history of this sport and a long way to go before learning some form of decorum with other posters.

 

Argentina - Firpo, based on one iconic round
in 1923,
Scotland - Benny Lynch
England - Randolph Turpin
USA - Ali & Dempsey
Scandinavian, all countries - Ingo
Cuba - Gavilan, not career “amateurs”
Hungary - St Ives/ “Aussie” Joe Bugner
Australia - Les Darcy
Algeria - Cerdan
Based most of these on impact they made in their day and how they resonate down the years. One or two exceptions, no only Bugner.

 

My God, dude! Let me just dismount from my high horse for one moment to say, you are the most bizarre poster I have ever seen. Some of the near-crazy stuff you have come out with over the few years you have been on here have always had me shaking my head, but I think that's your magic. I think you're allowed to roam because you shake up the tree a bit with your bizarre culture. From the time you dismissed Barney Ross as nothing (presumably because you never heard of him) to the times you claimed Luis Rodriguez was an Argentine and Ismael Laguna was a Cuban, to practically bowing at the memory of those all-time greats Oktay Urkal, Arthur Abraham, Laszlo Papp and Artur Grigorian. I can only compartmentalize you in 3 categories. You are either A) Completely stupid (I don't believe this is the case because no one can actually come out with and believe things that stupid). B) You are unhinged (definitely a possibility). Or C) You are a wind-up artist. And this is the option I believe. You throw out the most bizarre crap just to see what sticks to the wall. And you try to start flame wars amongst the posters. Well you're not going to start one with me. I've been laughing at your responses up to now because they are so off the wall, but no more. I would appreciate it if you would not respond to a post of mine and I will do likewise. There. Now you can have the last word as I will not respond.

 

Or more simply he is bias.
Perfectly normal.

Wales is a tough one to say who is out and out the most famous: is Jimmy Wilde better known than Howard Winstone and Johnny Owen, for example? I honestly don't know.
