    O'Neil Bell was a great one - I remember his fight with Tomasz Adamek!

      I'd say that he is the best Jamaican boxer by far, unless Lennox Lewis is included.

        Yeah man, you do have to be born there to be considered from there. If your dad/mom is Jamaican, that doesn't really make you Jamaican, considering Jamaica is a country where Africans were brought there, they were not native to the land.

        It's like if I was born in England, but my father was born in America who was from Japanese decent. Wouldn't make me American.

          O'Niell Bell was a great athlete and had very good power, and I think he sometimes depended on that power & athelicism to bail him out.....
          He was kind of chinny, sometimes had endurance problems, and had a tendancy to sort of zone out of fights for awhile.

            McCallum yes.

            I think you could put Glen Johnson and Simon Brown on the same level. People forget how good Brown was for awhile. Two division champ, beat Norris, Trice and fought some of the best of his day.

                WTF happened to him anyways? His first fight with Mormeck was a classic. I guess the guy has no heart/desire.

                  He is a mentally unstable person. I've heard that he threw an axe at his sparring partner during a training camp...

                    Lennox Lewis is a man of many nations, and he has one of the oddest accents I have ever heard.
