    No one. No world champs ever from my city despite it being the biggest city in Southeast Asia.

    Not from one city but I'm close enough to claim them all.

    if you mean for winning the british title then maybe but you would also have to put Paul Appleby in the mix then. Mcewan was a real good amature so was Kenny [commonweath gold]. i just think as a pro Mcewan has mixed it at a higher level and has a much tougher resume than Kenny's which tbh is really **** [not his fault tho] i would put Appleby before Kenny due to him having a tougher resume. i still pick Mcewan.

    That i can remember

    1 - 'The Real McCoy' Scott Harrison - Beast in his prime before the out of ring issues took over, was only behind Pac, EM, MAB and JMM in the World at that time

    2 - 'The Rickster' Ricky Burns - Improvement in him is unbelievable, he is on his way to being #1 in this list if he gets the big fights he deserves

    3 - 'Amazing' Alex Arthur - Was very good in his Prime but never did fulfill his potential but still gets 3rd here
