well there are many.............but then do you mean directly out of the middle east or of middle eastern background?

there are many with middle eastern background......

but in general, boxing is not much a sport in the middle east.....they are more into other sports....

That Jawad Khaliq isn't bad... (IBO welterweight champ). I think he's Iranian too. - He's not World class though, but is ranked about 10th.

IActually I haven't heard or seen him fight in about a year and a half... Does anyone know whats going with him?

He was one of Tommy Gilmour's boys.

Has the middle east, besides naz, produced anyone worth a cr##P.
I remember some slob named Amid Abdin who owned a garbage company who fought michael grant but thats it.
Why dont many or any good fighers come from the middle east or athletes for the matter?

Maybe lack of nutrition, physical fitness, and over health. You never see Arabs with decent physiques on TV.

PEOPLE IN THE MID-EAST ARE MORE INTO GUN MANUFACTURING, BIOLOGICAL WEAPONS ENHANCEMENT AND SUICIDE ATTACK BOMBINGS.

SAD BUT TRUE...

You watch way too much television... Have you ever actually BEEN to the middle-east?... Or are you basing this on what you've seen on tv?

Bald Bull was from Turkey. He was a tuff S.O.B. but I still tko'd him in the 2nd round. He had a devastating "Bull Charge!"
