How have I never heard of this Guy????

I rate Simon #7 all time in my list of greatest African fighters.

Who do you consider the to be the greatest African fighter of all time?
Weeks a go I made a thread about the greatest Japanese fighter. Thanks to everyone for the replies and input I myself learned some stuff from that thread.
I did some research for the greatest African fighter here's what I came up with...

(Let me clarify that I put the list together looking at skills, opposition, titles, wins vs. loses among other things. I've also at least seen 1 full fight of each fighter plus highlights.)


1. Azumah Nelson
2. Dick Tiger (Richard Ihetu)
3. Thulani Malinga
4. Ike Quartey
5. Ayub Kalule
6. Sumbu Kalambay (Thanks No Contest )
7. Harry Simon
8. Brian Mitchell
9.Digaan Thobela
10. Vuyani Bungu


*It's hard for me to rate Hogan Bassey cause I've only seen some small clips on him I know he beat Pep and all that but still I'd hate to rate him on that alone

Honor mentions: Piet Crous, Zolani Petelo, Silence Mabuza, Kassim Ouma, Ike Ibeabuchi, John Mugabi.

Thoughts opinions?

Winky deserved the decision against Simon, IMO it was another bad decision against Wright.

I had Winkus Maximus by 2 points...

But had no problems with the decision because it was a very close fight.
The BIG bullshit was the judges scorecard that read 117-113 that's just absurd.

Wasn't the decision reversed or something because one of the judges made a mistake ? thats how i remember it i would like to see it again, but its so rare to get i wish i would of saved it.

It was originally ruled a draw then turned to a decision for Harry minutes later...

I remember the list. Still can't believe you had Malinga over Quartey
