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.

Frank Moody fought Harry Greb, Tiger Flowers & Maxie Rosenbloom, as well as TK Lewis, Jack Delaney, Kid Norfolk and Tommy Farr.
An obvious one, Ricky Hatton: Mayweather, Pacquiao & Tszyu.

I'm not sure Palomino would have fancied another go at Green either, that was a tough, tough fight

there is a few with 2 good prime names such as Hatton with May/Pac, so opted for 3 to make it a bit harder
