    LoL, it would seem to me that you take this "Race" thing very seriously.

    Sam Langford would be the best Canadian fighter ever, and granted there aren't many.

    But I could care less about that. It doesn't bother me at all.

    In fact, it gives me the perspective to be fairly partial and unbiased when I see Americans and Brits and Mexicans and Ricans flaming eachother.

    I like fighters from all over the world.

    I don't pay any attention to their nationality.

      You're full of it, you are!

      When did I bring up race???

      You're the sort of guy that would kick a man up the arse and then say he was obsessed with having sore butt cheeks.

        I'm not going to call Lewis Canadian, but he was a product of our ameture system.

        And when I spoke to Lewis, we talked quite a bit about his Canadian citizenship, and he had a lot of praise for what he learnt here and said he was proud to have won a Medal for us at the Olympics. He said that while he's a proud Brit, he also considers himself a proud Canadian citizen.

          Sorry, maybe that was Martin, but still, to assume you can goat me about the lack of great Canadian fighters was pretty cheeky.

          I grew up with boxing. My Uncle was a relativly accomplished boxer:

          http://www.boxrec.com/boxer_display.php?boxer_id=039940

          He had a lot of great insights, fought all over the world, knew Jack Dempsy etc.

          That's how I got interested in the sport at an early age.

                I'm just joking...

                You can add Taylor to that list...

                Also, don't try and say he had the best resume because he didn't...but that's not what made him so great, it was the way he diminished all his opponents..

                You forgot to add Howard Eastman..
