Here's my version of Manitoba's Charlie Belanger. Side note. Belanger represented Canada at the 1924 Paris Olympics. As a pro Charlie, the Canadian champ, fought World light heavyweight champion Maxie Rosenbloom twice, losing decisions both times. He fought Larry Gains for the Canadian heavyweight title in '29, and was signed to meet Gains in London for the latter's Empire title, but it fell through. This Belanger has few KOs because most of his fights have been over a short distance. He beat the middleweight Tiger Flowers with a 20-lb weight advantage.
