What might have been

Tom Morrison of Lethbridge, Alberta was a big strapping lad, six feet tall and 195 pounds of bone and muscle. He played on the local hockey team in winter and the rugby squad in the fall. In the real world he joined the Canadian Army going overseas to fight the Boche in 1914 and was lost in the mud at Passchendael. However, in my alternate reality there was no Great War and Young Morrison took an interest in amateur boxing, joining the Canadian Olympic team in Berlin in 1916 where he won silver in the heavyweight class. He turned pro in 1918 under the tutelage of none other than Tommy Burns, former world champion, and boxed on cards in Calgary, Edmonton, Vancouver and Seattle before heading south to break into the big time in sunny California.

.....and you can take it from there!

An interesting addition to the ranks of fictional prize fighters.

I hope you can use it! I didn't know how deeply or how much detail you were looking for with this boxer. With his sports backgound, I figured there would be pretty high endurance.

Good job, Prof! If anyone's running a fictional AU he'd be a nice prospect.
