Your Country's Best..........

Canada:

Heavyweight: If Lewis isn't available? Then it's a toss-up between Ruddock and Chuvalo.

Light Heavyweight: Jack Delaney

Middleweight: Sam Langford

Welterweight: Jimmy McLarnin

Lightweight: Arturo Gatti, I guess.

Featherweight: George Dixon

Bantamweight: Johnny Coulon

Flyweight: Frenchy Belanger

 

****, this is tough for me...

Heavyweight-Sam Langford
Super Middle-Eric Lucas
Welterweight-Mysterious Billy Smith or Jimmy McLarnin (if I'm allowed to steal him from Ireland)
Junior Lightweight-Arturo Gatti
Featherweight-George Dixon


That's all i got for now. Essentially, the only shot we have is at heavyweight. O CANADA!!!

 

haha pretty damn similar to mine but some names i never thought of!

 

Yeah, actually with the line-up posted, we have some pretty decent contenders at most of the weights.

 

i had trouble placing langford...though he likely does have a better shot at middleweight than heavy. still, if we can place him at 168 he could dominate!
