From my hometown all the champs are old school. Joe Brown and Willie Pastrano and I think one more guy.
John Duplesis fought for a title v JCC and was the first guy I ever went to see boxing. Ronald Weaver is from New orleans and there's some white dud from the country around there that's a fringe contender/good club fighter but I can't remember his name.
New Orleans has some of the richest fight history in the game as far as events go though.
My new hometown Ft. Liquordale has a whole bunch that train around here and a long history but I don't know exactly.

I'm from Halifax, Nova Scotia. The closest we came in a long time was Kirk Johnson!LOL We all know how that turned out.
Now if you are talking Nova Scotia, Sam Langford is probably the best ever to come from here. We have produced lots of good fighters though.

Steven Luevano - La Puente
Shane Mosely - Pomona
I live in West Covina but Pomona and La Puente are neigboring and I condsider em part of my stomping grounds.
