Post by thunderfromdownunder »

North America
South America
Europe
Asia/Pacific (doing it as one, Oceania dosent really warrant it's own)

I thought Mexico might be in North America, didnt know that Panama was in North America though. I was also undecided about putting Bob Fitzsimmons in Europe or Asia / Pacific, and whether to put Marcel Cerdan in Africa or Europe. I was also tempted to include Laszlo Papp in the European top ten

Panama is Central America. Not a Continent just a region. Roberto Duran is definitely the best fighter ever from Central America without any doubt.

Fitz has a better case to be classed in the Asia-Pacific section than Tszyu does. Young Griffo needs to be in that section too.

Possibly Gans could slip into a spot in the Nth American section.

Kid Gavilan and Kid Chocolate in S.A section.

That's not how Geography works. Cuba is an island, but it's clearly in North America. Good call on Gavilan, he should definitely be top 10.

Duran is from Central America though...which is technically neither North America nor South America, but I would think most people would more commonly associate it with South America.

If I'm not mistaken he was Argentinian. So he would be from South America.

Well you could make the case that Penguin should've been DQ'ed for a rabbit punch there, but hey what do you want? The ref didn't call it. Defend yourself at all times Penguin!!!
