The James Canty who Chris Eubank fought in March 1987

Post by coghaugen11 »

Was in fact this James Canty http://boxrec.com/list_bouts.php?human_ ... &cat=boxer, announced as 24 years old and trained by Marvin Simms in Maryland!

His record was announced as 3-0-0 with his previous fight being a TKO1 victory over Gary Coates in Detroit in January 1987. He was a southpaw.

The L.J Canty that Frank Liles knocked out is not the same James Canty who fought Chris Eubank. The one who fought Liles was white and the one who fought Eubank was black!

The White Canty who fought Liles was a journeyman and the Black Canty who fought Eubank was undefeated in three fights.

Do you perhaps have pictures of the Canty that fought Liles?

stands to reason that James Canty fought Ernest Perry in Maryland, not LJ Canty....because he was 3-0 against Eubank and from Maryland..also originally you had James Canty fighting Ernest Perry, not the LJ Canty!

if you want incorrect info, that's fine! unprofessional of you...and unfair on the fighters.

Ernest Perry fought James Canty, not LJ Canty, as you actually originally had it.....!!
