Accra, Ghana

Azumah Nelson
Ike Quartey
Joshua Clottey

Quartey was born in Bukom, Ghana. I am not sure if he lived there his entire childhood. He would have been on my list.

Pick a city and name its all time 3 best fighters. I suspect this thread may cause some debate when it gets to certain cities like Brooklyn, L.A., Detroit, and others.

I'll start with Pittsburgh.

1. Harry Greb
2. Billy Conn
3. Charley Burley

No doubt in my mind Greb is the greatest fighter this city ever produced, but I am really up in the air about Conn and Burley. I rate both very high all time and give a slight edge to Conn based on my opinion he would win a close head to head fight at their respective best.

Feel free to debate this and name some cities and fighters of your own.

Brooklyn

My understanding of the area is that Bukom is a suburb of Accra...but it's considered part of "Greater Accra".

I kind of lumped them all into the same boat because I haven't ever seen a reliable source detailing their respective upbringings. Alfred Kotey was also from the area.

Thanks. Then I will defer to your list as the 3 best from Accra.
