The greatest fighters of each nation.

[GoogleMe]

Mikkel Kessler - Denmark
Battling Nelson - Denmark

[mickey malone]

Germany - Max Schmeling
Norway - Magne Havna
France - Georges Carpentier or Marcel Cerdan
Ireland - Rinty Monaghan
Sweden - Ingamar Johansson
Italy - Duilio Loi
Belgium - Jean Pierre Coopman or Freddie De Kerpals
Holland - ???????

What is it with the Dutch?... Or is it me?.. I can only think of Alex Blanchard, Jose Seys and Rochel Hersissia, and they're hardly house-hold names in Holland, let alone anywhere else. The nation have always be one of the most dominant forces in mma with top performers like Schiltz, Bonyaski, Ertz etc, and no quality boxers which seems kinda strange to me.

I was thinking Marcel for France but, Schmeling for Germany didn't enter my mind.
Good choice with Johnson.

What about PR... Pacquiao as mentioned earlier or Macho Camacho.

Id say Benitez but yeah theres a lot of great rican fighters so no clear cut choice.

Good picks.

Yeah it's odd the Holland doesn't have a tradition for boxing. The only fighter I can think of with any signifikance is Regelio Tuur.

Another country where there's tradition for professional boxing is Finland. And yet the fins havent produced many world class fighters. I would think that the best so far might be present day Amin Asikainen. Maybe Robert Helenius can catch up.

Also Spain is underrepresented at the world level. All I can think of is Javier Castillejo or Poli Diaz. There must be better though.


Others:

Hungary: Laszlo Papp or Zsolt Erdei.
Poland: Dariusz Michalsczewski or Tony Zale (if he can be considered polish).
Ukraine: Wlad Klitschko
Yugoslavia (Bosnia): Mirjan Benes
Rumania: Lucien Bute.
Uganda: Ayub Kalule
Thailand: Sot Chitalada or Khaosai Galaxi.
Venezuela: Edwin Valero

I would choose Kid Kaplan over Wlad.

[BattlingNelson]

I would choose Kid Kaplan over Wlad.

Never heard of him I'm afraid. Can he be better than a dominant HW champ?

I'd say so.




Pretty impressive but Wlad isn't done yet, he may take over not sure though.
