    Lol. Oh yeah. He was an infant when he moved to the states. He did speak some sort of danish according to reports though. He's also listed as danish on boxrec and is in danish boxing literature considered a (durable) dane.

    So him being danish means that he is with little doubt the greatest ever continental european boxer.

        OK he's in.
        Though to quote Wellington just because a dog is born in a stable it doesn't make him a horse.
        Did he speak as much Danish as Ayub Kalule though?

          Haha. I can't really remember if Kalule did speak danish though. In any case he doesn't live in Denmark any more, but if he did I'd claim him

            Kalule and Kalambay were probably the best European boxers in the 80's. Which is pretty depressing, since neither is really EUROPEAN!
