    I live in a town of about 8000 people, and thus declare myself number one.

    Technically Burns isn't from Glasgow, but it's close enough.

    1) Ricky Hatton
    2) Jock McAvoy
    3) Jackie Brown

    Always a bit ambiguous as to what you class as a 'Manchester' fighter, but all 3 fought out of Manchester gyms.

    Interesting stuff on McAvoy and Brown. McAvoy was Rochdale and Brown Collyhurst so definately claim them. McAvoy rated in The Rings Top 100 hardest punchers so definately top 3 material.

    There was also a guy named John Duplessis who had a decent record and fought Chavez.
