Andre Ward. Oakland California.

Andre Ward. Oakland California.

Great fighter, bis biggest moment was defeating Froch to win the super six tournament, although he did get home advantage throughout the tournament. Career has suffered in recent years due to inactivity.

From Philly? Quite a few. Frazier, Liston, Loughran, Harold Johnson, Ike Williams etc. great fighting traditions in philly.

Don't know too much about LA.

My home city of Liverpool, I would say John Conteh & **** Tiger would be the standout names. Jimmy Wilde fought in Liverpool a lot, so I'll lay a claim to one of the greatest British fighters ever.

Arthur Abraham was in Carson, Froch was in New Jersey.

However, Ward should be back in action sometime in 2015. Hopefully he gets with Roc Nation. Anything is better than where he is at.
