So far as I'm aware, The Lion is the only one to have actually won a bout of fisticuffs - and that was against Leman Russ.

That's a pretty decent indicator of who might be the champion pugilist.

I fear Angron would be somewhat hampered by his Butcher's Nails, as he may be at a disadvantage against a calmer, more calculating brother.

Angron won a fistfight against Russ as well, after he shattered his weapons. Meaning Russ seems to loose quite a lot of fist fights.

The butchers nails are actually an advantage in this situation. Fighting against someone who doesn't care about holding back or getting hurt, is incredible hard, as he would just keep on coming after you, even if it means taking a hit himself.

Considering Angron basically lived in an arena for the the first years, he already knows everything about this kind of fight.

Angron actually won that duel against guilliman and was only stopped from delivering the killing blow by his ascension to deamonhood.

He actually doesn't, he first has a short duel with lorgar, that is more evenly matched, before Angron takes his place and guilliman starts to lose. So he never fights them both at the same time.
