Apart from Lennox Lewis and Sam Langford, who else has Canada produced?

    Arturo Gatti was a Canadian. I don't think I need to go into what type of fighter he was.

    Jimmy McClarnin. He was essentially the first ever "pound-for-pound" fighter, when it came to writers and what have you. Beat several world champions and was the world Welterweight champion.

    Honestly, the only two I can think of at this moment. Those four are quite good, I will say. Gatti, Lewis, Langford and McClarnin. Good fighters.

      A few you may have heard of that haven't been mentioned:

      Sam Langford
      George Chuvalo
      Yvon Durelle


      Anyways, Canada, specifically Toronto is a hot bed for boxing right now and I have a feeling we're going to start to see a lot more good Canadian fighters in the future.

                      Burns has already been mentioned. Was beaten easily by Johnson but Burns played a part also in blacks getting their chance in boxing as he wanted to be the best not just the best white boxer and was prepared to fight anyone no matter what their race.
