    Ahead of Fitz, Wilde, Kid Lewis, Kid Berg and Lennox Lewis? Not sure about that one. Definitely top ten though.

    Ken B nearly always gets overated IMHO. He gets into the top ATG 5 Brits and the top ATG 10 Lightweights and he shouldn't be in either (IMHO!!!).

    When will Lennox get the praise he deserves :-(

    Also, I agree with Dan - Welsh should be getting a top 5 spot.

    I wouldn't have Buchanan ahead of Lewis.
    Don't forget this involves Irish aswell, Jimmy McLarnin deserves a place in there somewhere(well definitely ahead of Buchanan imo).

    I don't want it to seem like I'm running down Ken, he was a great fighter and Scotland's greatest ever but I think he falls a little short of the others on the list.

    How can you class McClarin as a yank but have Fitz as a Brit?

    No way is Ken B above Lewis P4P, get those Scottish rose tinted specs off!!!

    McLarnin was born in Ireland to two Irish parents and spent the first few years of his life in Ireland. His family then moved to Canada where he grew up......so em, how is he American ?

    Lewis and Fitz are a lot less British than McLarnin is Irish.
