    We already had a thread of best African fighters,and now's the time for your favorites..

    My favorite currently is Cornelius Boza Edwards, pretty likeable style and never became a stepping stone once.

    He's pretty much a smaller Joe Louis with his strategy and physique like Morales,good technical fighter with good reach,but engages in a brawl every 10 seconds or so.

    David "Poison" Kotey Unknown Commonwealth champion travelled from Ghana to Los Angeles to face the fearsome 2 time Bantam and Featherweight champion Ruben Olivares who the previous year nearly beat a young Alexis Arguello and had just regained the World title by crushing Bobby Chacon (his 2nd ko of Chacon who had recently destroyed undefeated puncher Danny Lopez).

    Kotey scored a 1st round knockdown and then boxed beautiful to take a 15 round split-decision in front of Olivares rabid fans who caused a riot straight after.

    I had a soft spot for Pierre Coetzer, limited but always game, always turned up, tough guy.
