Sorry, read it before my coffee and was multi tasking. I read African American, which is a common phrase here.

I love Pat Ford, but he was from Guyana, not Ghana.

Latte Mwale was actually an underrated fighter in my opinion.

Ike Ibeabuchi was looking rather promising. Not sure if he was the "best" prospect but.........

Thomas Oosthuizen was big news for a while and hit properly hard..…….and did won an IBO for what that's worth.
Never quite happened for him which was a shame.
Kaliie Knoetze is also worth looking up....another big Bok heavy who was a decent threat who is much less well-known than Coetzee, Botha, Sanders and maybe Du Plooy but had his moments and was a big rival of Coetzee.

Ben Tackie had a decent run at LWW until he ran into Tszyu and Hatton

Eddie Kwundu was undefeated until he ran into Wilfredo Gomez...then that was it. He could have been a very good one, however. I guess we'll never know.
Joe Tetteh
Sonny Boy West beat Dick Tiger 3 out of 3.
Who else??????? (that has not been mentioned yet)
