    I think Jean Pascal is a very good fighter. He currently underrated and taking a lot of undeserved negativity from Americans because they were rooting for Hopkins in that fight.
    Bute should be first then Pascal but its close since the Dawson win is greater than any of Butes wins, and yes he is getting underrated because of the Hopkins outcome. I think Troy Ross is damn good too....oh wait that was racist
    Historically Langford ****s on everyone from Canada and there is a legitimate argument that hes GOAT, probably followed Jimmy Mclarnin damn great fighter and a strong ATG.

      Forgot that Langford was Canadian.

      Good call.

        I like Troy Ross too and I agree Langford was the best Canadian boxer ever.

        I never said it's racist to like, recognize or to praise black fighters.

        It is racist, however, to at the same time always be negative about and discredit every single good white fighter.

        If someone has nothing but good to say about one race, and nothing but bad to say about another race, what does that tell us about the person?

        I think it's more enjoyable for a boxing fan to always be fair and give credit where it's due, regardless of what race the fighter is.

          Amazing how overrated Bute has become when his best wins is a shot Miranda and B level Andrade (after he was KO'd by Andrade in the first fight, then saved by his hometown refs count).

            Amazing how you are unable to rewatch the 12th round of the Andrade fight and see that Bute was already getting up when the ref was turning to talk to Andrade. And you really think Miranda is a better win than Bika? That's one good proof you don't know much about boxing right there.

              - Bute KOed Miranda, while Ward held and headbutted Miranda and won a boring decision.
              - Bute defeated Bika more clearly than Ward did, and didn't need to resort to illegal tactics while doing it.
              - Bute KOed Andrade in the 2nd fight.

                I was clearly being negative about Bute and Mclarnin.
