I'm from Hamilton and the boxing scene is horrendous here. Im hard pressed to even find a bar playing Mayweather Mosley here outside of Toronto. Your lucky if a "boxing fan" here knows 4 names outside of Pacquiao/ Mayweather. Unfortunately Ontario seems to be way more consumed with MMA. Prepare to see affliction T-shirt after affliction T-shirt if you wander around here.
Im from Hamilton also. I use to train with Jessica Rakoczy (31-3 12ko's) down at Regency Boxing. She moved out to Vegas and began training with Jeff Mayweather, she is a 2 time WBC female lightweight champion. She also beat Mia st. John twice, knocking her out in the 2nd round of their second fight.

Nice, thats pretty badass man. Id train but Im pretty much a pussy. The closest I get to being tough is narrowly avoiding getting stabbed at Hess.
No, it's not. Zab is a better fighter than Urango imo.
Agreed he is way more versatile and has a much larger arsenal of punches. Chin and pressure being the obvious traits that Juan has in superior quantities. At 140 I think Judah gives Alexander a tougher fight then Juan stylistically.
That was just him selling the fight. After the trilogy he didn't disrespect Frazier ever again. He even said Joe was the best fighter he ever fought. Everything that Ali did was to hype the fight up.
Dont get me wrong Im an Ali fan. I was just joking about Joe Fraziers seemingly apparent belief ,however caused by bitterness it may be, that he caused Ali's ailments during their third fight.
If I had to pick an opponent for Pac right now Id go with Bradley, I think that would be a damn good brawl. Also I no there is no chance of it happening since he hasn't been reinstated yet but I cant help but think that Margarito Pac would be a barn burner for however long it lasted.
Cyber Boxing Zone is a decent Boxing history site, maybe lacking in design and pretty ugly but decent/interesting info such as their lists of lineal champions etc
