Re: Brit Bashers..
True. I only mentioned it cos a poster mentioned Howard Eastman. Also Joe Bugner was born in Hungary and later was known as 'Aussie Joe'... lol.

Re: Brit Bashers..
About seven for Kamil Sokolowski, if he hasn't been mentioned already.
Couple of Frenchmen to mention:
Guy Gracia beat nine Brits, including Dave Charnley twice, in the 50s and early 60s - https://boxrec.com/en/proboxer/36637
Between 1946 and 1956, Ray Famechon had plenty of success here - 15-4 in Britain mostly against Brits, including some major fights for the EBU title and a world title eliminator - https://boxrec.com/en/proboxer/12847

He probably could have beaten Woodhall too, but was a bit too long in the tooth.Sammy Scaff wrote: ↑17 Mar 2022, 14:04 Sugar Boy Malinga always gave Brits a good scrap win or lose.

Re: Brit Bashers..
Can’t remember how many they beat but Fabrice Benichou and Vincenzo Belcastro both mixed it with a few Brits.
Re: Brit Bashers..
Belcastro had an incredible engine. Just looking at his record, the Italian went the full 12 rounds a whopping 22 times in his long career, including the 12 he took a young Naz of course.

Sebastian Rothman did in some decent Brits. Very nearly adding Carl Thompson before getting hit with a Hail Mary.
Re: Brit Bashers..
Benichou was also a stayer and had two cracking European title fights with John Davison.

Re: Brit Bashers..
I was at that fight at York Hall. Thaxton swung and missed some bombs but just kept eating counters. Romanov well and truly gored him. He looked so good, I still can't believe that fight was basically the end of him. I stood ringside next to him after the fight and he was short but built like a tank (Thaxton ditto).Counter-puncher wrote: ↑17 Mar 2022, 10:35 i never actually saw Romanov at the time I just remember hearing he absolutely sliced the likes of Thaxton and Vanzie apart
nothing for him on youtube I don't think
I then got my picture taken with Jim Watt and failed to make a remotely convincing fist.
Re: Brit Bashers..
I think he was called tsafi munyai?
Came over and beat most of the uks fly/bantams in the mid 2000s

Sad news that Buster Drayton has passed away , 70 years old.
He really was a Brit basher and a top guy as well.

You should do a worst boxer to be a passenger in the car with. There's dozens.![]()
Eubank
Naz
Spence
Monzon
Sanchez
Williams
Corrales
Paziena
Thurman
Chic Calderwood
He's done it twice.
First time, hit and run at 140mph wiping out 2 people, the second time he hit a family killing 3 people -- including a little baby.

Re: Brit Bashers..
This thread caught my eye. Some folks with long memories posting here!
I'll throw in a couple that I don't believe have been mentioned.
Cuban heavyweight Nino Valdes won three fights by KO/TKO in the UK, against Don Cockell, Dick Richardson and Brian London (the fight with London was stopped due to a cut).
Germany's former European heavyweight champion Karl Mildenberger beat a string of British boxers. Mildenberger started out as a light-heavy: British boxers he defeated: Arthur Howard, Ron Redrup, Alex Buxton, Joe Bygraves (born in Jamaica but longtime resident of Birkenhead), Joe Erskine and Billy Walker. Mildenberger basically beat up a game Walker in eight rounds in a European title fight in London. But Dick Richardson KO'd Mildenberger in one round in Dortmund in a big upset, while in his last fight, at Wembley, a shot Mildenberger got himself DQ'd for butting Henry Cooper.
Guy Gracia of France has been mentioned. As I recall, the Brit writers back in the 1950s dubbed Gracia "The destroyer of British lightweights."
