MCLARNIN vs GRAY: By Brian W. Zelley, B. Comm, CA
*Introduction: From a "Let's Talk Boxing - Ontario" facebook site
somebody claimed CLYDE GRAY was the best Canadian
welterweight ever. Now in order for that to be true, there is a need
to compare there records of achievement to deternine what
activity can support the claims made.
We may all respect both
boxers for their long
records of achievement.
But, at the end of the day,
discussion or debate or
even a debate there
must be a selection based on a fair and objectivbe analysis of the records.
