    of course - forgot all about him. hell be up there prob about five or six as i rate the Watsons, Smiths, Londons, Cullens and Gardeners opponents higher than those of McCrorys still even though he won a better title than them

    Lynch
    Gilroy
    Clark
    Patterson
    Keenan
    McGowan
    Milligan
    Buchanan
    Calderwood
    McCormack

    maybe 3-4 others SCOTLAND, small country big area...

    P.S the person talking about Casey, if that's Jack cast iron Casey, he was one of the hardest, toughest British middleweights of all time... he would have ate the likes of Calzaghe!!!
