Is that chris Johnson molitors trainer?

Steve Molitor sucks. Pakjic, Stiverne and Kielsa are fairly decent HWs.

For bona-fide world-class boxers fighting out of Canada, you need to go to Quebec, where there's three: Bute, Pascal and Lemieux.

yup....

Lucian Bute is the only good Canadian fighter right now I agree Tunney.

Chris Johnson is a 1992 Olympic Bronze Medalist.

Former Professional Boxer.

Fought Antonio Tarver in his last fight (which was an eliminator to fight Roy Jones). Was winning the fight on points, but was KO'D in the last round. Suffered a brain injury from that KO, was taken out on a stretcher. And then had to retire and now trains.

Quebec has by far the best scene but I'm okay with molitor.he's fought some good guys but he's a step below elite.2 time champion can't be that bad.pascal & bute are pretty solid world class boxers but I enjoy the domestic scene as well.Brampton holds regular cards...I even hear there is a pretty good looking female boxer there.

lol what's her name?

The boxing scene in Canada is pretty bad man honestly. They would rather show curling and poker on sports channels than Boxing...

Yes, it's very bad outside Quebec.

The Vancouver newspapers didn't even mention Pavlik-Martinez, Bute's win over Miranda, Froch-Kessler or even the linear HW championshipo fight, Klitschko-Chambers. They are ignoring Mosley-Mayweather.

(but we have a big Filipino population here, and every single one is a Manny Pacquiao fan - he receives excellent coverage in the Filipino newspaper )

In Quebec there are a two boxing promoters who have done a great job of keeping the sport alive in that province.

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.
