    Kassim the Dream Ouma is mine. He was a whirlwind of a fighter with an incredible backstory. His prime didn't last long and he took some horrific beatings late in his career but he was always entertaining.

    Not saying he was the best, just my favorite.

    Cornelius Boza Edwards. Almost every fight from him is all-action wars. He was the 80s version of Arturo Gatti.

    Amin was an athlete during his time in both the British and Uganda Army. At 1.93 m (6 ft 4 in) tall and powerfully built, he was the Ugandan light heavyweight boxing champion from 1951 to 1960, as well as a swimmer. Amin was also a formidable rugby forward,[27][28] although one officer said of him: "Idi Amin is a splendid type and a good (rugby) player, but virtually bone from the neck up, and needs things explained in words of one letter".[28][29] In the 1950s, he played for Nile RFC.[30]
