Any Professional Boxers from your hometown??

I grew up in Pomona, California where Sugar Shane Mosely is from. Grew up following his career. Early in his career he was over shadowed by other boxers like Oscar De La Hoya and Tito Trinidad but he was probably the best at his prime. Guy was a monster at lightweight. Beat Oscar at his prime and in his home turf. I was dissapointed the way he fought against Pacquiao and Mayweather but he showed a lot of heart against Canelo.. I hope he fights one more time to go out with a win.:boxing:

My town too. And don't forget the Michigan Assasin, Stanley Ketchel Today was the first time I've actually looked him up. I've heard the name before but didn't know the story. Wow he was killed at 24. In a short life he accomplished a lot. Thanks for letting me know Grand Rapids had another great.

Winky and Jeff Lacy Nate Campbell and Tarver (sort of) Winky I used to see running at the park all the time before he was on HBO. Leff Lacy, I seen him fight and I seen his car in traffic before. Lacy has a retarded tricked out chrystler 300. Winky had a viper and some kind of bmw and that was before he even fought Vargas. You're from my neck of the woods than. Don't forget our big up and comer, Keith Thurman.
