If G is a one-relator group on at least 3 generators, or is a one-relator group with torsion on at least 2 generators, then it follows from results in [1] and [6] that G has a subgroup of finite index which can be mapped homomorphically onto F2, the free group of rank 2. In the language of [2], G is equally as large as F2, written G⋍F2.
