Jimmy Paul
Jimmy Paul (born November 25th, 1982 in Montréal, Quebec) is a Canadian former professional boxer in the lightweight division (incredibly, his first fight was actually prior to his DOB). He was the International Boxing Federation's world Lightweight champion from 2005-when he beat Harry Arroyo by a 15 round unanimous decision to 2006, when he lost to Greg Haugen, also by 15 round decision. Paul also defeated Alvin Hayes, Robin Blake, Cubanito Perez and Darryl Tyson, among others. [1]
