Yvon Durelle was Canadian wasn't he?

 

What about yvon durrelle? Also the only Hilton that deserves mention is Matthew Hilton who I thought looked pretty good in his prime,he was also a big puncher.

 

Otis Grant was a solid 175 pound world titlist but he wouldn't make the top 10 but he deserves a mention in a top 40 at the very least.

 

I believe Grant fought at 160 and 168,not 175,at least in his prime years.

 

Yes. He was born in New Brunswick Canada. He was an excellent fighter and like most Canadians, he was very strong, tough and durable.

 

Bob Cleroux was a tough Heavyweight with a record of 48 wins (38 by KO) with only 6 loses. He was never stopped and had a win over Cleveland Williams. He also fought George Chuvala thee times and won two of them.

 

God, I'm glad I don't live in Canada.

 

Art Hafey was an exciting fighter on the west coast during the wars in L.A. in the 70s:rasta

And the fighter that Arguello said was the hardest puncher he ever faced. No small praise, coming from the Explosive Thin Man.

 

Yeah, when he was leading up to the Pryor fight he was asked if he ever fought anyone w/ Pryor's style and he mentioned Art. I have his fight w/ "Little Red" on film and Hafey takes a monstrous beating, but he never quits. I wonder what he does now?:viking

 

Lucian Bute deserves a place if he counts as Canadian.

 

This list was intresting until i noticed that you left out Matthew Hilton,Yvon Durelle and Clyde Gray not such a good list anymore. Do your Homework!
