    Are we just considering boxers by where they were born or which country they represented because I was going to use Trevor Berbick. Born in Jamaica but represented Canada. What are the rules?

    Its really sick how such a small place produced so many elite fighters, while some places that are much bigger have a hard time coming up with three fighters, for anyone to have to put Okkte on thier list is sad:oops:

    i guess that's why he fought for Canada at the Olympics. :blood

    Lennox was born in England, was trained in Canada. He won a gold medal for Canada in 1988. He returned in England at the beginning of his professionnal career. So, one of your best three boxers has been trained in my country. I hope you can share a little bit of his glory with Canadian people. ;)

    For a country whose people drink lots of tea, boxing ain't China's "cup of tea." ;)

    Philippines:
    Francisco "Pancho Villa" Guilledo
    Gabriel "Flash" Elorde
    Manny "Pacman" Pacquiao
