    I can only talk of boxers that I’ve seen box in my lifetime so I’m going for Jones Jr. or maybe Whittaker

    Otherwise it’s probably the 2 Sugar rays, Robinson an Leonard

    I wrote weakest of the 4, I.e. the 4 x countries you'd cited your ATG for.

    Boxing is banned in Iceland and has been for many yeaes, so yes, their pugilistic history is weaker still.

    Hi Buddy.
    Guilty as charged, shame on me, as you will find out Joe divides opinion on the forum, but yes his omission was a big error, and you were right to pull me up on that.
    stay safe DB, chat soon.
    Mike.

    Haven't heard of either Sanstol or Bredahl. Tangstad is the only Norwegian boxer I know of and Kessler the only Danish. Kessler was actually quite good, Tangstad less so. European Champ at one time I think, but not world level.
