Canadian fighters just don't seem to have it

Well, if you're gonna criticise the quality of Quebec boxing ('cause as we said the rest of Canada isn't in the picture), you have to compare it to demographic and economic equivalents.

So... Are we better than Switzerland, Belgium or Israel?? What about those invincible Swedes?

 

depends what part of canada. I'm from vancouver. mma is more popular here than boxing. but mma isnt nearly as popular as it was 2-3 years ago.
in quebec boxing is really popular but the rest of canada it's not.

most fighers are from the province of quebec

 

If they didn't "seem to have it" we wouldn't have over 3 big names in the sport. Please **** off with your baseless negativity elsewhere.

 

dont really think stevenson fell short. he got knocked out as a propsect but has won a world championship since.
also he knocked out edwin rodriquez in the amatures

 

Canadians are generally softie pacifists so it lends to their demeanor in athletes.

 

Dracon, quebec is still just part of canada. Cut the crap, you're just a canadian nothing more. Speak english

 

Pascal and Bute are big fish in a small pond.The rest of Canada could really care less(or at least the majority of them).Quebec is a unique market for French speaking fighters and the fans give them great support-but surely after last night's "fight" even the fan boys realize their fighters are not elite level boxers.
Stevenson may surprise us,but very likely will be KO'd the moment he faces Kovalev.

 

For a small country which is not interested in combat sports, we have produced some amazing fighters...

Lennox Lewis
GSP

GTFO!

 

They had a huge crowd last night, who cares how popular it is in the rest of the country? It's popular in Quebec and when you factor in that provinces population they promote and produce good talent.

 

Go back to uncle Fidel's pinga, you commie slut.

 

good enough to either smack the Americans around or have them ducking fights. so, not too bad if you ask me. :good

 

why would the Brits be butt hurt over a Brit winning a gold for Canada? doesn't matter what the colour of the flag is, just the man behind it... which was British.

 

that's to the top post.
