UK boxing today aint that bad compare to Canada.

Boxing is huge in Montreal and it seems pretty popular in Edmonton of all places, but aside from that it is definitely a minor sport here. I really think Steve Molitor had the opportunity to become a minor star in this country. Here on the west coast, he was being talked about on sports radio on the days leading up to the Caballero fight and it really seemed like he was poised to break out. The establishment of a non-Francophone/Quebec based unified champion would've gone a long way towards increasing boxings popularity in this country. The reason I say non-Francophone is that Quebec (for better or worse) is largely seen more of it's own entity than of part of Canada by the rest of the Country. Anglophones just don't seem to rally behind French-based fighters as easily as they do non-French ones.

I had to rep you for not posting about Pacquiao. Good topic and good responses. It does seem to me like they need some more prospects to step up into headliner status. Been the same bunch of guys getting notice, they need some new blood to step to the front.
