      If Welsh fighters count, Jimmy Wylde was something else. As a flyweight who weighed in at like 100 lbs., he was absolute dynamite. His right hand was as concussive a punch as had ever been seen before or since. He held the title for a long ass time before losing to Pinoy legend Pancho Villa As far as England is concerned, Lennox Lewis comes to mind. He was the only dominant English heavyweight champion ever. As far as my personal favorite, however...

        Why wouldn't Welsh fighters count? The topic refers to British fighters, not specifically English fighters.

          Not in the class of Ted 'Kid', Jack Berg, or even Owen Moran.

              Thats the thing. Of these 3, I've only seen Berg fight on tape. Its hard to get fights of international fighters from the 30's in America. But from what I saw from the tapes of Berg, I wasn't overlyimpressed, but thought he had sound technique. I saw 2 of his 30 fights with some old school Italian fighter, I think it was Canzonerri or something.

                      I think its mad funny flaming a poster most people don't even know. I can't get enough of it, it doesn't make any sense. That **** is hilarious. Shanus is cool though. He likes boxing. Thats more than I could say about some of these other dudes.
