Being that the next edition of The Contender, (Season IV), will apparently showcase talent in the Cruiserweight Division as posted on Boxingscene and according to ESPN...>>>
And considering at least some of the 16 Cruiserweight Contenders will most likely hail from outside of the USA; Then without a doubt, Canada's own Commonwealth Cruiserweight Champion, Troy Ross would make a very fitting addition to the roster for Sugar Ray Leonard and Rocky's TV Series, imo...
To better give you an idea of how the devastating southpaw, Troy Ross (who played boxer John Henry Lewis in the movie "Cinderella Man", and acted as a young Samuel L Jackson or "Champ" in the movie "Resurrecting the Champ"), actually stacks up on paper with some other potential "Contenders"; Here are the names and records for the already prospected Cruiserweight Boxers for The Contender Season 4:
O'Neal Bell (26-3-1, 24ko's), Vadim Tokarev (24-1-1, 17ko's), B.J. Flores (21-0-1, 13ko's), Darnell "Ding-A-Ling Man" Wilson (23-7-3 20ko's), Matt Godfrey (16-1, 9ko's), Johnathon Banks (19-0, 14ko's), Aaron Williams (17-1-1, 12ko's), Shawn Hawk (16-0-1, 14ko's), Emmanuel Nwodo (22-4-0, 18ko's) , Ola Afolabi (12-1-3, 5ko's), Ehinomen Ehikhamenor (12-3-0, 7ko's) and Mike Alexander (12-2-0, 8ko's)
Troy Ross (17-1-0 12ko's) is a 2-time Olympian, is currently ranked 20th in the World by BoxRec, he went 3-0 with 3ko's in 2007, and is 1-0 so far in 2008 even though he's had a real problem getting fights and staying active, (perfect example: Troy was scheduled to fight this week-end in Montreal on the Alcine Vs. Santos under-card, but I've heard that his fight may have been canceled due to fact Group Yvon Michel who also handle Alcine, Ngoudjo and Pascal to name a few... could not secure a suitable opponent for Ross). So what do you think??? Does Troy Ross look like a fitting "Contender"???
