Re: best 3 fighters faced by a brit
I think also that the great Jack "Kid" Berg has the best 3 boxers a Brit ever faced.
Ken Buchanan of Scotland faced Ismael Laguna, Roberto Duran and Carlos Ortiz. That is a good company.
The great Bob Fitzsimmons faced James J. Corbett, James J. Jeffries and Jack Johnson.

I'm not sure Palomino would have fancied another go at Green either, that was a tough, tough fightgolden oldie wrote:I am not so sure a 3rd name is necessary, but Dave Boy green never wished for another go at either Palomino or Leonard. That's FFSure.

there is a few with 2 good prime names such as Hatton with May/Pac, so opted for 3 to make it a bit hardergolden oldie wrote:I am not so sure a 3rd name is necessary, but Dave Boy green never wished for another go at either Palomino or Leonard. That's FFSure.
