Best Scottish Boxers of All Time
With Ricky Burns' dramatic victory over Kevin Mitchell, talk has begun of his standing on the best Scottish boxers list. Clearly, he needs a few more victories to make that list, however, it can't be denied that he on his way.
Who are the best Scots to lace up the gloves? How much more does Ricky Burns need to do to make the list of best Scottish boxers?

Never been that impressed with Scott Harrison, I'd rate Burns ahead of him now. Hopefully Burns can get a fight against a couple of big names from overseas now and enhance his reputation further. He looked very strong on Saturday night.

Behind Ken B. I would have Jim Watt.
Re: Best Scottish Boxers of All Time
I belive Ken was considered P4P at the time he and Duran met...
Jim Watt comes to mind but falls short.
I've not seen much of Jackie Patterson or Benny Lynch to comment on them but I'm sure they are in the mix.

Yes.
