    If you dont go to a gym, then who do you think was the best to come out of your home town.

    For me, its probably O'neil Bell who will proably have the IBF title in a few weeks. I think Vernon Forrest used to train at my gym a long long time ago; but O'neil was there while I was training.
    soon as i join a gym
    ME!!!

        K i understand most are US on this forum but has ne1 heard of Duke McKenzie. If so hes probably the most famous to come out of my immediate town. Then there has been some great fighters out of London. Nigel Benn "the dark destroyer", Harold "the battersea bomber" Eastman, Chris "simply the best!" Eubank. The list is endless

        No but Duke Mckenzie is best to come out of my town. Croydon.

              Wow. Compared to most of you guys Atlanta is on the bottom of the fight scene. I figured this already though. I know alot of guys start here , but then end up moving somewhere like Florida or other areas closer to casinos.

                As an amatuer, Craig Payne was the best guy out of the gym. Kady King used to come down and work with me when I was young. As a pro the big guy was James Toney. Alot of good boxers worked out of the Galaxy when I was there as a pro. Bronco McCart And Tarrick Slamaci boxed out of there at the time. Aswell, if you remember Joseph Kiawanaka (Spelling?), Lonny Beasley, Leo Nolan. There were many that I have shared gyms with these are a few that I remember.........Rockin'
