    Then he learned his craft in the mean streets of Kitchner.

    Langford without a doubt.

    But, the real question is how would Langford do on the skates? What was his Slap Shot like?

    Yeah so he spent his formative years in Canada, the years that got him into boxing and winning a Gold Medal for Canada at the Olympics. Canada is a young country who's population has always been based on immigration, someone coming to Canada at 12 years old is seen as Canadian as anyone.

    Notice how Lewis has stopped trying to put on that affected British accent too since his pro retirement?
