Scottish world Champions
Scottish world Champions
Just got a real education from the bbc boxing correspondent.
I managed to only score 7..
Bet no one can get them all without cheating :)

Re: Scottish world Champions
I got 9/18 but really it should've been 9/12, the only genuine ones I missed were Johnny Hill, Walter McGowan and Pat Clinton
As much as I rate Limond, McAllister etc even they know

Re: Scottish world Champions
My mistake I am so naive that I didn’t even think to recognise the great Scottish WBU world champions of yester year.

14 i got!
Re: Scottish world Champions
15/18 but I read the guy Hill on here and submitted him even though (shamefully) I didn't know who he was
So 14 I suppose. If I hadn't read this first I wouldn't have counted the WBU mob and would've felt a right mong

Re: Scottish world Champions
I got 11. Clicked on the link before reading the comments and was struggling. Put limond in as a guess and when it came up WBU I then got McAllister et al from there.

Re: Scottish world Champions
I was actually at the Murphy Elcock fight years ago
Loved a bit of Scott Dixon as well
Re: Scottish world Champions
I got 9 (missed Patterson, Lee and inexplicably missed Murray Sutherland!).
List should not be 18!!!!!

Before my time, but to my understanding Howard Davis Jr was supposed to be a superstar.
He was considered the best of the legendary 1976 US Olympic team and won the Val Barker trophy for those Olympics.
Re: Scottish world Champions
So really it's out of 12......
Don't feel so bad with my score when you remove the fake ones.

Re: Scottish world Champions
I got 7, essentially I got them all! I didn't realise that interim and WBU counted

Re: Scottish world Champions
I got to seven and thought 'fornicate it' I typed in 'Ronnie The Shark Clark' and was amazed when it told me I was incorrect so I sacked it off and I typed in youtube in my browser because I wanted to listen to The Wurzels.

Before my time too, was de-bunking the earlier daft statement about no Scottish fighter never beating a good American fighterNaandrew wrote: ↑04 Nov 2018, 03:14dr_devious wrote: ↑03 Nov 2018, 16:30Jim Watt beat Sean O'Grady and Howard Davis Jr
