What state or city do you think has produced the best boxers? I think Michigan would be in the top five. Philly definitely, New York and I guess I can throw some international places like cities in Mexico. What do you guys say?

This has been argued, but Ray Robinson is from Detroit... not New York
Emmanuel Steward said that both Floyd Mayweather and James Toney frequented Detroit often in their careers despite being from outside the city.. particulary Mayweather as a youngster it should be noted that Lennox Lewis went to another level when he ventured into Detroit and got down with Emmanuel Steward. prior to that he was a basic Euro-style fighter. I recall guys from Kronk who I knew begging me because of my size to go spar with him... This post has been edited by neophyte7: Jan 2 2013, 05:45 PM |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) they did start boxing there though. quillen was born in ann arbor...he moved to ny. i may be wrong...but i think chris byrd was born in chicago and moved to michigan. i was under the impression that lennox was born in the uk...moved to canada and repped them in the olympics....trained in the u.s. and is of jamaican descent. |
