    With all due (or undue) respect, what a stupid a** thread. :patsch

    Several months ago there was a thread started about AFRICAN fighters, a good discussion on African born fighters, not simply 'black guys' :patsch

    One of my idols Dick Tiger came immediately to mind, along with a handful of other great African born pugilists.

    I'm out....

    Never heard of Hogan Bassey, Sumbu Kalambay, Ayub Kalule, Nana Konadu or Cornelius Boza Edwards?

    No, Edwards has a far superior resume to Agbeko.

    Boza didn't lose to Limon.

    Limon beat Navarette and Chung, both top 5 at the time. Navarette had destroyed Boza.

    Just to let you know that Kalule is not, and has never been, a Danish citizen.

    He lives in Uganda, but made Denmark his base when he boxed for team Palle. Nothing Danish about him at all.

    Wilson Kipketer, on the other hand, was a Danish citizen, when he represented Denmark.

    You're right... that is indeed the Danish flag next to his name! I guess, that's because he had most of his fights in Denmark.

    However, if you look at their light middleweight all-time ranking (where Kalule is in 18th place) the Ugandan flag is shown next to his name. Also, if you look at his BoxRec profile, you will find, that he's listed under 'Ugandan World Champions'.

    I can see, how it can be a bit confusing... but, to cut a long story short, he has never been a Danish citizen.
