    Not sure if this has been done but would enjoy reading the Classic's opinon's and reasoning for such a list.

    Lynch, Buchanan and Watt, where would they all be ?

    Would Gary Jacob's be in it ?


    Thank's :good

    i like this thread! plenty of scots on this forum and plenty of posters know way more about this than me so i won't even try. still, i see buchanan and lynch in the top spots, with both having arguments for number one

    My thoughts exactly and Popkins named the one eluding me, Paterson.

    Not read a lot on him but it made me wonder if there's other fighter's from back in those day's, that would make up the Top 10.

    :good

    Calderwood, forgot him.

    I worked with his nephew last year and he lost his head in a car crash i think.

    As said, would be nice to see where people have them.

    Wasnt McGowan only amatuer ?

    Of course, his record was exceptional :thumbsup

    At the moment, I am drawing a mental blank, so much so that my top 5 currently is as follows:

    1. Rowdy Roddy Piper
    2. William Wallace
    3. Rob Roy
    4. Robert The Bruce
    5. Kenny Dalglish

    :good His son is a brickie and does loads of work for the company I work for. Does anybody think Calderwoods win over Willie Pastrano is the best ever win by a Scottish fighter? Or is Buchanan's over Laguna better?

    McGowan was British, Empire and World flyweight champ. He was also British and Empire bantamweight champ. All as a pro.
    Your thinking of Dick McTaggart. A truly great amateur. Dick won gold at the 56 olympics and the Val Barker trophy. He won bronze in 1960 along with 5 ABA titles.
