    Obviously Langford and McLarnin are 1 and 2.

    After that Id probably have


    George Dixon
    Tommy Burns
    George Chuvalo

    In no particular order.

    After that?

    Ruddock, DeLaney?

    Does Gatti make it? Cant really think of the second half off the top of my head.

    Not a terrible nomination, but I think we can do better.

    Trevor Berbick, Bob Cleroux were two decent Canadian heavyweights.
