Ghana, best African Boxing Country??

[DannyV297]

I've been watching and keeping track of fights for a while now and Ghana seems to me to be the best African Nation when it comes to the sport of boxing. Anyone know of any good publications on the history of boxing in Ghana? I'm sure it's rich.

In terms of producing the best African fighter of all time, yes, it would be Ghana as they unleashed Azumah Nelson but overall, Id say it's the tie between Ghana and nigeria who had a murderer's row of Ike Ibeabuchi, Dick Tiger , Sam Peter and Hogan Bassey..

Ghana had Nelson, Quartey, CLottey and Kotey so it's neck and neck really..

South Africa is by a wide margin.

Other than Ghana and Nigeria I wouldn't be able to tell you another African country that produces boxers (not counting South Africa).

I think Algeria have produced some good amateurs but nothing of note really in the pros. There was one guy i saw on a eursport show that fought out of France. He was a young prospoect and looked very good but cant for the life of me think of his name. He was originally from Algeria.

Ndam and Takam are both good fighters from Cameroon

Idi Amin in Uganda and wasn't Mugabi from Uganda?

Where was Sam Peter from? Nigeria?

Tackie...the anvil chin of Ghana Quartey the anvil jab Nelson wears the crown. Decent prospect Frederick Lawson just had a big fight fall through. South Africa hands down though.

Peter was last listed out of the North isle of Waffle House

Newfel Outah is an unbeaten Algerian heavyweight who is fighting Erkan Teper, an unbeaten German Heavy this friday. He was an ok amateur and KOd Tony in his last fight. This looks a decent scrap on paper.
