      Even Acelino Freitas who's far from great accomplished way more than probably the 5 best Turkish boxers combined.
      Fair enough I've never heard of jofre what era is he from.

        To be fair, if I was a Turkish boxer and had fans as ****** as Floyd's Mask is I wouldn't try to be any good either.

          If you're referring to Floyd's Mask f/k/a Mirko Troll Cop, he won't care because he's not really Turkish.

            Canada is pretty lame considering the population and how popular boxing is there. There are good fighters based there, but rarely is there an elite native Canadian.

              I was thinking that. They have never produced one soccer player that considered top class either. Yet much smaller nations like Portugal, Netherlands, Belgium has. None of their teams has ever won the major tournaments either.

              I think you may be right.

                thats why i raised eyebrows when people were saying yilidirim was a decent opponent for eubank. Had never seen him fight but i knew he wouldnt be much good and i said that pre fight. turks cant fight, thats why they have weapons behind the kebab shop counters if it kicks off, cause they cant use their fists.

                  Sam Langford and George Dixon are two all-time greats. Canada population is less than half of Turkeys also.

                    1960's. Probably the best of that time pound for pound.
