    Yup.

    Canadian boxing was ok back then. We have had some pretty decent fighters in the 90's. Otis Grant, Hilton bro's, Lalonde, Lewis etc.

    Seems every 10 years or so we have a huge influx of talent.

    Molitor is the king of the castle now, IMO.

      I would say that he is overrated, but he's barely on people's radar. He looks like a good fighter but something screams at me Shaun O'Sullivan reincarnated. Let's say, I just don't think he has the skills for the very top tier.

      You forgot Razor Ruddock , Bulldog Olson and Ken Lakusta

        Ken Lakusta lol....

        I think Mollies good. He'll get beat by the top guys not named Ponce De Leon...other then that...I think Bute is very overated. Alcine is the 2nd best probably.

            Bute is being managed alot better. Molitor needs to have his Joppy fight, a hard vet that played at the top on his way down. I don't follow his division much but he's no Marquez or Vasquez and he doesn't have the power for 126.

            Bute on the other hand is being handled very well, and will have a big pay day. Will he be able to pull it off? If it's in Montreal, it is most likely.

              He fights at 122, sonnie.

              And yeah Bute is. I think he's able to beat the weakest titlist, whoever it may be.

              If he steps up to Kessler, oh man....that could be a tad scary.

                    I knew 122, thus Vasq and Marq but added I don't think moving up in weight is in his cards. He doesn't have the punch for featherweight.
