    Cymru- Calzaghe was great, but gotta go with the Mighty Atom
    Nicaragua- A Arguello
    Australia- Peter Jackson and Jeff Fenech were mentioned. So I'll throw Famechon or Rose into the mix.

    Canada - it's not Gatti, it's not Chuvalo, it might be Lewis but no one can argue against Langford.

    Puerto Rico - Benitez is worth considering.

    Ukraine - Klitschko brothers, pick whichever one you like.

    Puerto Rico = Carlos Ortiz, guys. Not Gomez, Benitez or Trinidad.

    O'Neill Bell rings a bell for me as he fought here and lost to a couple of Aussies, I am not sure but think Vic Patrick was one of them.

    Good list I would have Les Darcy of course but I do have to admit that out of England, New Zealand and Australia I reckon Australia has the best claim to him, he was called The Australian so often the Americans thought so too and in Fitz's own book he never objected once to the term and he had other authors in the book all calling him that, He began fighting here and was trained by Larry Foley and therefore taught the game here and with three weight division titles he is the highest achiever to ever come out of Oz.

    Surprised you didn't do Roberto Duran from Panama because you were pretty thorough
