Ten best boxers from Africa?
The continent of Africa has produced many great boxers but who do you consider the ten best boxers born in Africa?
This is a tough list to make but this is what I'm thinking so far..........
(not in order)
Azumah Nelson
Ayub Kalule
Willie Smith
Dick Tiger
Sumbu Kalambay
Jacob Matlala
Vic Toweel
Brian Mitchell
Marcel Cerdan
Ike Quartey
There was one other boxer who I was going to put in my top ten but I can't for the life of me remember who it was.
Honorable mention to
John Mugabi
Proud Chinembiri
Louis Phal
Dingaan Thobela
Nana Konadu
Langton "Schoolboy" Tinago
Cassius Baloyi
David Kotei
Vuyani Bungu
Hogan Bassey
Willie Toweel
and many more (there are too many to list)
Apologies for any glaring omissions
What are your thoughts?
Dave) Yea I debated if Cerdan should be in there but he was born in French Algeria so I think that qualifies him
Wasn't Cerdan an Algerian born Frenchman? Although your judging criteria does state African born fighters i would personally get that French impostor out of the list and stick "the beast" in there instead!
I can't improve on your list, it's superb.
