The best Pacific Northwest heavyweights ever

[actjac]

Another name that was forgotten was Amos Lincoln.

Thanks...."Big Train" of course. It appears that the all time NW list is a work in progress.

Good call on Amos Lincoln.

Not sure if I would rate Gord Racette as a top heavyweight.

For the Pacific Northwest

Another name is Michael Arms. Though he fought around 200 lbs. he would be considered a cruiserweight but so are most on the list.
Arms won a national heavyweight amateur championship (AAU) and started his pro career in Alaska before moving to Eugene, Oregon. He was a fringe cruiser contender and did challenge for the USBA title. As with many, his bad habits in his personal life caused a strain on his potential.
