I was just curious. Who is the best boxer to come out of the gym that you go to. Maybe they won a title, or are just extremly skilled, excluding yourselves of course.
If you dont go to a gym, then who do you think was the best to come out of your home town.
For me, its probably O'neil Bell who will proably have the IBF title in a few weeks. I think Vernon Forrest used to train at my gym a long long time ago; but O'neil was there while I was training.
I am from Fullerton CA., (Southern CAlifornia) and i went to this gym nearby called LA HABRA BOXING where i saw LIBRADO ANDRADE AND HIS BROTHER ENRIQUE ORNELAS. THE BASH BROTHERS!

Wow. Compared to most of you guys Atlanta is on the bottom of the fight scene. I figured this already though. I know alot of guys start here , but then end up moving somewhere like Florida or other areas closer to casinos.

yes...yes you will be there with them...i bet it will feel great to be a hang-on.
K i understand most are US on this forum but has ne1 heard of Duke McKenzie. If so hes probably the most famous to come out of my immediate town. Then there has been some great fighters out of London. Nigel Benn "the dark destroyer", Harold "the battersea bomber" Eastman, Chris "simply the best!" Eubank. The list is endless :D
No but Duke Mckenzie is best to come out of my town. Croydon. :boxing:
When I move to Detroit it will be
Thomas Hearns
Michael Moorer
Holyfield
Lennox Lewis
Aaron Pryor
Milton/Steve McCrorry
Leon Spinks
and just about any fighter that went to Kronk:D

you forgot Willie Jorrin and Otis OT Griffin, plus Juan Lazcano used to live & train here (good article in today's Sac Bee about Lazcano)
O shit
Ya I forgot about Willie jorrin and Juan Lazcano
Otis Griffin really hasnt accomplished much and at his last fight he almost got knocked out by a guy who never fought pro b4...the guy couldve stopped otis but he started showboating and got caught with the only ok punch otis landed in the whole punch
btw i trained at griffins gym for a day but I chose mateens instead
Sactown1, go on sacbee.com and type in boxing, and look for Mateens boxing

I dont box anymore and never went to a gym where anyone of any stature went but with that said in recent times Greg Haugen is the best fighter that has come out of the washington area.
Old school heavyweights Boone Kirkman and Pete Rademacher are other noteworhty contenders.
