Can anybody match them, and not for sheep shagging perverts :nono 1. Jimmy Wilde 2. Jem Driscoll 3. Freddie Welsh 4. Joe Calzaghe 5. Winstone/Farr (similar in many ways) That is one mean looking lineup I can only think of the English coming close, but post your lists :good
You've gone and started something now. For a small country of 2.9m though, that's a very good top 5. We're all ****ing hard *******s ennih.
Scotland Ken Buchanan Benny Lynch Jim Watt Jackie Paterson Walter McGowan (would have been far more renowned and successful if it weren't for his ease at being cut, superb wee fighter) I think this line up can be argued as being on par with the Welsh one, its certainly not a bad list for the size of our country, and plaudits to the welsh for being an even smaller country, so they may shade it.
Why are you talking **** about Calzaghe in a thread where I specifically asked for peoples lists? The obvious answer is you don't have a clue.
I've always thought that McGowan is the Scottish equivilent of Howard Winstone, one had cuts the other had bad hands and those things really held them back at world level.
