they knew each other well enough and along with Lynch, Jake Kilrain, wee Johnny McGrory, Bert, your Dad, Big Ken Shaw and a few others, they represented Scotland very well during that, the greatest overall period in Boxing history. Watt has the distinction of being one of the few pugilists to go the 15 round distance with the legendary triple crown champ.

Honorable mentions: Chic Calderwood, Bert Gilroy, Gary Jacobs, Murray Sutherland, Peter Keenan, John Simpson, Willie Limond.

Expect heavyweight to be the must-watch division of 2019. Whether he continues to campaign at 168lbs or returns to 160, where he still holds the WBA and WBC titles, Alvarez will be in the most high profile fights of 2019. Like Oscar Valdez, speaking of whom….
Walter McGowan: England got the World Cup in 1966, but Scotland got a world boxing champion when the son of a miner defeated Salvatore Burruni and claimed the WBC flyweight title.

1943 – Dave McCleave was ALREADY chosen for a Final Eliminator contest for the MW title before meeting Bert that year, he couldn’t be scene to lose then could he… Bert had only lost 1 fight of 42 fights and 6 years, a points loss the very fight before this one. He will cause a stir no doubt, whatever he does next but Fury needs to stay active.
Against Adrien Broner he could be working his way towards the end of his ever watchable career.

That tournament format will offer him some intriguing match-ups and Inoue could well triumph despite the hugely demanding competition at bantamweight. The WBA welterweight champion didn’t box at all in 2018. He would also win Commonwealth and European titles at bantamweight. At least the international Hall of Fame have recognized Ken’s greatness.

I would be grateful for any help on how to trace their careers. First of all, Lynch and Gilroy’s day was the single greatest period in boxing history without exception… overall it was harder to get to top level from anytime before it and anytime since.

The Mexican has come through the controversies of a failed drug test and another close fight with Golovkin to move up to super-middleweight to beat Rocky Fielding at Madison Square Garden. Learning fights against Alex Arthur and Carl Johanneson saw the boy become a man. Defeats to Julius Indongo and Anthony Crolla did nothing to tarnish the “Rickster’s” accomplishments.

Hi James, thanks for post, Ginger Stewart was my Dad not Grandpa ( even though I’m only 49 now!) McGowan had ambitions to be a jockey before embarking on a stellar amateur career.

the Most FEARED and Cheated Athlete in British Sporting History and the Second Greatest Scots fighter of All-time.

He did fight at middleweight at the end of his career but Bert had gone to light heavyweight and retired. Should of been so much more. My dad took my brother and me to Glasgow to meet his pal who had been in the army with Benny Lynch and he told us all about him. 8. Born out of the tough Gorbals area of Glasgow, he developed his scrawny neck by doing special weight exercises.

Tragically, alcoholism would prove to his toughest opponent as it took his life at just 33. RIP Dad x. I believe your granda and Gilroy were stable mates. Undefeated lightweight and welterweight champion of Scotland. The crowd looks on as the great Benny Lynch trains.

At number 4 in this list of top 10 good looking boxers 2020, we have Lucas Martin Matthysse.This is one of Argentine’s very best boxers and one of the greatest in the world as well.

But at 36 years old, Golovkin has little time to waste if he is going to try to reclaim the belts he used to hold.
