    Best Boxers By State (or Country)

    Living in the state of Georgia I have had the priviledge of seeing some terrible fights. With all due respect of USA TODAY-listing the top five from a particular team-I thought it would be good to see what state or region has the best boxers. My top five Georgia fighters of all time are listed below. Agree/Disagree, but list your top five in your home state. (BOSTONGUY Do Not put Peter McNeeley in your list).

    1. Evander Holyfield
    2. Vernon Forrest
    3. Ebo Elders
    4. O'neill Bell
    5. Kevin Johnson

      Your list should include Lennox Lewis. Jesus Christ.

                    TEXAS stand up...

                    1. Jack Johnson
                    2. George Foreman
                    3. Juan Diaz
                    4. Jesse James Leija
                    5. Sean O'Grady
                    6.* Tony Ayala, Jr.

                    I'm sure there are some good ones I'm leaving out, these are just the first that come to mind. Oh yeah, James Kirkland is coming up too.
