BC Flyweights to Featherweights

If One or More of the Flyweights to Featherweights
Are Selected by the BC Committee, Who Should It Be?:

- By Brian W. Zelley

*From my personal experience, 
my pick of the top choice would
be FRANKIE SCOTT who held
various National titles from 
flyweight to featherweight
between 1966 and 1970.
Also, he won a bronze medal
in the 1966 British Empire/
Commonwealth Games.
But, in the sixties there were
several others that had the right stuff including 
Roger Adolph, Harold Handlin, Jimmy McMillan and
Kenny MacDonald.  And, in the Seventies there were
several BC boxers that won more than one title in the
various divisions between flyweight to featherweight.
Leslie Hamilton and Chris Ius were two of the BC

standouts. 

FRANKIE SCOTT,
Is he the top choice for 
the selection of a
flyweight to featherweight
boxer that should be 
selected for the 
2013 Canadian Amateur
Boxing Hall of Fame?

Or, will Frankie be
overlooked by those
that make the selection
for a more modern 
boxer such as a 
Dale Walters?
Dale  held the 
Canadian bantamweight
title in 1982 to 1984, and earned a bronze medal in the
abbreviated 1984 Olympics.

*Frankie Scott and Dale Walters
and other outstanding boxers
from lightweight Eddie Haddad
to welterweight to middleweight
Fred Desrosiers.

== ROGER ADOLPH ==
*When comparing the
various boxers, one acid test
would be how would they
do if they competed against
a boxer like ROGER ADOLPH

Of course, aside from
Roger, there is also
Jimmy McMillan who
was a 1966 Canadian
champion.  

And, the duo of 
Chris Ius and 
Leslie Hamilton 
should not be taken 
for granted.

And, the one that may
be the best of all based
on his height and reach
advantage, and solid 
left jab would be
Kenny MacDonald.

The boxers of the post
Seventies would likely
select DALE WALTERS
but the boxers of the 
Sixties and Seventies 
are just as likely to pick FRANKIE SCOTT or one of the
others with CHRIS IUS being a popular choice.  

The British Columbia process:
The boxers like Frankie, Chris, and Dale are not in a three way race.
As of October 15th in a support poll, the following are leading by persons
from British Columbia:
Freddy Fuller - 5, Harold Mann - 4, Allan Bayne - 4,
Roger Adolph - 4 and Tommy Paonessa - 4.
But there are others that follow such as Pat O'Reilly.
