Best Boxers By State (or Country)

[KINGPIN4LIFE]

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

[{}MATADOR{}]

1. Joe calzaghe
2. David Haye
3. Ricky Hatton
4. Amir Khan
5. Junior Witter
