Nobody could handle Wright’s jab. Southpaw wasn’t he?

Nah that was later in his career. Johanesson beat him and had him down a few times but Burns was suffering badly from flu or cold or whatever it was that night. The best Burns would've handily beaten the best Johanesson imo....

Dodson was a bit of a damp squib, apart from when he beat up Honeyghan in 3 rounds. Commentators used to mention how he’d run a marathon in 2 hours 45 minutes as a junior, yet ironically as a boxer he always had awful stamina!

There was a period when Khan was coming up through the ranks where that would have been the fight I most wanted to see made. Romanov was quality on his night and no easy work

He was you the stable of a number of other European journeymen, and disappeared and came back to it numerous times. Wonder what happened to the guy in the end?

Crisanto Espana must have beaten a fair few Brits.

Donovan Boucher came over a few times.

Chrisanto Espana beat 8 Brits. He was based in Belfast for a time, so is that cheating?

Can't seem to place him mate although the name rings a bell. Remember a guy Kirakosyan (spelling) beating a few of our guys and also a dude Khomistky (spelling) who beat Jamie Moore and a couple of others. Sturm as well. Beat an injured Barker, Macklin (dodgy decision) and drew with Murray in a fight i had him winning...
Kirakosyan was a hard little fukker. He beat the aforementioned Johanneson a few times and leathered Scott Lawton.

What about Choi he beat more than a few Brit’s :bag:

Freddie Miller.

He beat around 30 British fighters between 1935 and 1938. Was World Featherweight champ for most of them.

Had a quick look and he fought in some of the famous venues of the day, and then Llanelli working mens club!

He also lost to Peter Culshaw in a fight what was scored with a 20 point must system, but that was in SA, IIRC

A right handed southpaw who kept the earmuffs on. Very unusual.

Choi Tseveenpurev immediately came to mind. Didn’t he come to live here?

Good shout. I remember him knocking out Derry Matthews when he was a prospect. I'm sure Willie Limond beat him earlier in his career....
