Famous Canada Boxers | List of Boxers from Canada (Page 5)

THE LIST OF BOXING NAMES:  by Brian Zelley
* Who are famous Boxing names of Canada depend on the yardsticks
to measure fame.  Some of the boxers listed would not be considered
famous on an International level and some would not be considered
great at the amateur level. 

In Canada, the degree of fame would depend on where they fought
and when they fought.   As many of the ancients before 1969 would
not necessarily be known to current boxing fans.

Also, the list does not include some boxers that would be on a famous
list in their own city or province but not so on an International list.
