Who was the best scottish fighter NEVER to win a world title?

Duncan Ferguson.

 

Skeets Gallagher.

 

I remember Chic Calderwood when I was a kid.Very skilled,tough,could punch.He beat some world class men,but was a bit erratic and lost to some also.Late in his career lost,I think on a cut,to Cowboy McCormack,who also beat Henry Hank,George Benton,Terry Downes on DQ,amongst others.Some resume,so I suppose if Chic is in the running,so is he.

 

Alex Arthur

 

Agreed,and using roughly the same argument Nathan Cleverly is the best Welshman.

 

Actually Alex did have a world title it was handed to him ,lost it on the first defence against nicky cook, now hes fighting the occasional **** fight, rumours going about about him fighting john mccallum.

 

Alex would stop John in less than 3 rounds I'd actually be shocked if the board sanctioned it, Alex was class in his day John is still very much a novice

 

I agree mate way to soon for this to happen, John did a exhibition a few weeks ago against Gary Mcmillan dont know how it went though.

 

I know mate, but unfortunately he didn't win it in the ring and lost it to Cook!

 

thats what i just said

 

Calderwood is a good call.

 

You did - apologies - on my 5th nightshift now :nut

Arthur aside, the other one from my lifetime would be Gary Jacobs.

 

Yes!

 

BERT GILROY...

it's quite amazing how many people just don't know about him, his career/story is major movie material.

plus after his own career he coached at different times and at the same time, McCormack, Calderwood, McGowan & Irish bantam Caldwell. Next to Benny & Kenny, it's Bert.
