      He'd be the logical number 2.

        Jimmy McLarlin was a Canadian citizen also.

        Lewis, depends on your view of his nationality.

            I'm an Aussie, but even I know that no Canadian list could be without Dixon or McLarnin and there's a big name that escapes me but it'll come to me. Just one thing more, Gatti was exciting but Burns has to be above him,..... the smallest HW in history couldn't have been a bad fighter, no Tommy was very good, basically a superwelterweight. He Messed up, should have stayed out of Sydney and away from Big Jack.

                Of the top of my head Jack Renault was a good heavyweight and correct me if I am wrong , a canadian. He knocked out George Godfrey and Fulton..

                I am not saying he should be on the list, but he does have some good wins. I will have him over Chuvalo.

                  Jack Delaney and Lou Broulliard deserve a mention.
