Best boxers from...?

[Welsh Jon]

I see a lot of you are picking Fitzsimmons as Englands representative. He's obviously worthy, but I always thought of him as a New Zealander. I'm by no means an expert on his life so can somebody educate me?

He was born in Cornwall, England. His father was Irish, his mother Cornish. He was brought up in New Zealand. His family emigrated to New Zealand when he was about 8 or 9 years old.

I see Monzon and Pac have been backed by everyone so far as best boxers from Argentina and the Philippines.

No love for Pascual Perez or Nico Locche?

No love for Flash Elorde?

My strong second choice from the Philippines would be Pancho Villa rather than Elorde.

Well you're asking for the best boxer from each of their countries and that's quite clearly Monzon and Pacquaio, despite how great Locche / Perez, Elorde / Villa are Monzon and Pacquaio are still greater.

That's what I was thinking. Villa > elorde, but Pac already > villa.

Locche is my favorite fighter of all time, period.

Monzon was greater, however.
