Apart from Lennox Lewis and Sam Langford, who else has Canada produced?

    Steve Molitor also was a recent world champ...then he ran into Caballero.

    aside from guys like Jean Pascal, Antonin Decarie, Troy Ross and David Lemieux, Canada has a bunch of good LW and JWW prospects right now that are all starting to move to the next level:

    Pierre Olvier Cote (16-0, 11 KO)
    Dierry Jean (19-0, 13 KO)
    Steve Claggett (11-1-1, 6 KO)
    Tony Luis (11-0, 3 KO)
    Logan McGuinness (14-0, 7 KO)
    Arash Usmanee (13-0, 7 KO)

    They could make for some great action fights against eachother in the next year or two.

    Also, former Olympian and to ranked amateur Adam Trupish (9-0, 6 KO) is being moved along pretty quickly. His style seems better suited to the pros and he could make some noise on his way up.

    Carl Froch seemed to have great things to say about Trupish, who he used as a sparring partner for the Abraham fight.

      He was born and raised in the UK so that makes him British and he represented the UK as a pro. So there you have it.

            LOL it was nothing like that, he wanted the biggest purse ever at the time to fight Johnson and took ages to finally face him.

                  IMO, he is more American than Canadian. Ima claim him as part American, his trainier Steward... he is American and I believe Lewis has lived in America for like alot of years. British-American is what he is.

                      Lewis moved to Canada as a young boy, learned to box here, and stayed here until he went pro.

                      He is a product of the Canadian amateur system, and decided to go pro in England because there wasn't any money or backing for him to go pro in Canada at the time.
