Evan Armstrong, the first scottish boxer in 30 years to win a londsdale belt, and he never got or gets the recognition he deserves. the belt that he has was the last one to be made of solid gold |

I would argue for the inclusion of Mo Hope-although an Antiguan,he fought for England as an amamteur and certainly represented us as a pro.His accomplishments and his record speak for themselves! |
