Jimmy Bredahl: Where Do You Rate Him at SuperFeatherweight?

Where do you rank this excellent and extraordinary fighter from Copenhagen, Denmark? He is one my favorite great Oscarito's opponents.
A swift fighter with great lateral mobility and fast right jab, was Europe and IBO and WBO World champion. A justifiable hall of fame career. To me, clearly the greatest Danish Superfeather ever!
By the way, I would like to meet him someday. I like his Switzerland themed shorts. That is why I call him the Switz wit wits.
Was he Denmark's greatest fighter? Or Mike Tyson's formidable heavyweight opponent Brian Nielsen?
Was Bredahl the greatest superfeatherweight from Denmark or is it Dennis Holbaek Pedersen?
I think that Jimmi Bredahl was a special fighter. He was a fight short of greatness if Oscarito wouldn't been on the scene
To be champion of Europe and the whole world tells us something

Johnny was better, in my opinion.

Is this some sort of a joke?
Jimmy Bredahls shorts were made from the DANISH flag.
Jimmi had a good win in France for the European title. IBO and WBO titles were rubbish then (and now).
He did his best against ODLH, but was in way over his head,
Denmarks best fighter is probably Mikkel Kessler with Johnny Bredahl and Tom Bogs next in line.
Best super-feather from Denmark? Yes, Jimmy and Dennis Holbaek, but also Rached Lawall before weight problems forced him to move up.

I agree with your sentiments Woller.
Jimmi had a good win against Pierre Lorcy but there is not much else on his record to get excited about.
Battling Nelson might be the best Danish-born fighter, but as we know he grew up and learnt to box in the USA.

Or Kid Williams.

Hi
I admit that I have never rated Battling Nelson and Johnny Gutenko as danish fighters, as they never fought in Denmark. I think that Nelson left Denmark as a one year old child. Also, I dont rate Peter Jackson as a danish fighter even if he was borne in Denmark. Virgin Islands was at that time a part of Denmark.
