    Right now its Molitor, he doesnt get the hype that some of teh Quebec fighters are getting but this kid is technically sound..there is no weakness in this game..and hes got a great camp with Chris Johnson at the helm.

    Oldies namewise its gotta be Chuvalo..Lalonde was great as well lol

    Naw Molitor never fought anybody yet so wait a few years...

    I consider Pascal the most talented and Ngoudjo, both ahead of Molitor right now.

    for 1, if you actually read the guys post, he never said Molitor is one of the greatest Canadian boxers of all time. 2, out of those "bums" he beat, 2 of them were mandatorys. What should he have done, given up his belt to fight someone else, even though his management had tried to secure fights with Ponce De Leon and Caballero and were turned down? 3, he may have modest power, but he has everything else. As Graham Houston recently said, he is one of the best pure boxers in the sport. 4, the closest scorecard in any of his title defences was 118-109 against Castillo. If you think thats "barely beating them", you should book an eye examination asap.

    back to the topic. a few good ones that havent been mentioned yet are Jimmy Mclarnin, Lou Brouillard and Jack Delaney.

    :lol: If Molitor hasnt fought anyone yet, I would hate to hear you describe Pascals record. And yet, somehow, you rate Pascal ahead of him. Molitor is well ahead of Pascal. I hope Pascal looks better (a LOT better) in his next bout, but as of now, its nothing short of a complete joke to rate him ahead of Molitor. Molitor is also ahead of Ngoudjo, though Ngoudjo is not as far behind as Pascal.

    That is the dumbest **** I've ever heard. If you were in my presence... I would force you to box me, videotape it.... and show EVERYONE here WHY you would post something so dumb because you CLEARLY have no boxing knowledge.

    He absolutely dismantled his opponents, the only thing missing was the TKO. He outclassed them offensively and defensively.

    He's also been turned down by the "kings of 122" in Ponce De Leon and Caballero. If he's such an easy fight, why do they not just get a quick tko1 win over him and a belt at the same time?!? No risk all reward right?!?

    He draws a fairly large crowd as RAMA is always packed to see him.
    Stick to being an armchair athlete, and leaving the sports analysis to people who are actually competent.

    lets be fair. The reason he was turned down by Caballero is because Ontario commission still requires same day weigh ins. Otherwise the fight would get made.

    btw i am a huge molitor fan, but what i just said is the truth. The Ontario Commission is stupid to have its own rules different from everyone else's

    Entertainment - Arturo Gatti. No doubt.

    Purely boxing wise - Ima go with Sam Langford.

    Present - Bute.
