    Canada's ATG list?

    Who are the Canadian ATG's? Top 5?

    Excluding Lennox Lewis. He represented Canada during the amateurs, but waved a Union flag during his pro fights, and called himself a British world champion.

    Your thoughts?

        not really familair with lou brouillard, but george dixon would be a good addition to the bonafide ATG's from canada.

        mclarin, langford, and dixon are probably the top three.

        langford out front for sure. he's arguably in the top 10 goats p4p

          Georgie Dixon
          Chuvalo (though not the greatest fighter, he was Canadian champ for 20 something years)
          Jimmy McClarnin
          Sam Langford
          Clyde Gray
          Mathew Hilton
          Davey Hilton
          Razor Ruddock
          Tommy Burns (still holds consecutive KO streak for a heavyweight world champ. His opponents....meh).
          Eric Lucas
          Jean Pascal will make it one day.
          The Golden Boy Donnie Lalonde
          Willie deWit
          Yvon Durelle had an absolute war with Archie Moore - he was a **** hair from becoming LHW Champ.

          Sean O`Sullivan - a terrible pro, was nearly assassinated by Simon Brown but at the time was one of the best amateur`s in boxing`s history.

                  I'll throw Arturo Gatti in there since nobody else has.

                  Kirk Johnson could have been in there if he would have took care of himself better.

                    Remember Willie Dewitt against Bert Cooper? LOL...It looked like he was actually bleeding to death through his nose. To this day, I have never seen a nose gush blood like that. It was gushing like a fountain
