    We can lay claim to Joe Louis and Ray Robinson. Even with all the big failures in big time fights not many cities(I guess NYC) can compete.

        Buster Douglas is from Columbus. I met him and his brother in law when I was a kid.

            I lived in Ontario, California for most of life which is right on the border of Pomona so I'm claiming Mosley. Moved to Vegas about 3 years ago so I'll claim Mayweather as well.

              Just my area(s) (my parents don't live together)

              "Mean" Joe Greene- Jamaica Queens, NY
              Buddy McGirt (retired)- Long Island, NY (he's from Brentwood tho I'm not)

              New York as a whole would be a good amount of names...

                Johnny Nelson, Prince Naz, Kell Brook, Ryan Rhodes, Bomber Graham, Clinton Woods, Brendan Ingle etc..

                Sheffield is quite a big boxing city I suppose.

                  I don't claim this ****ty area I live in now.

                  But my hometown of Philly is home to guys like Bernard Hopkins, Joe Frazier, Meldrick Taylor, Steve Cunningham, Eddie Chambers, Matthew Saad Muhammad, Bennie Briscoe, Ivan Robinson, and many, many others.

                    I'm from Edinburgh, Scotland.

                    I think the only ones we got are:

                    Ken Buchanan - WBC and WBA Lightweight Champion in the 1970s
                    Alex Arthur - WBO Super Featherweight Champion
                    Craig Mcewan - Unbeaten Middleweight Prospect

                    Think that's the main ones!
