Tony Zale back in the 40’s was the middleweight champion.

Adrian Granados.
Oliver McCall.
Fres Oquendo.
Andrei Fonfara.
David Diaz.

They might not all be top fighters, but they’re decent named fighters.

This is testing my knowledge too far.

I know US boxers but do not know the states and cities they are from

[REDEEMER]

Not sure but N.Y and P.A had some of the best ever .

[The plunger man]

Thomas hearns & joe Louis Detroit
Jake lamotta and Mike Tyson New York
Rocky Marciano & Marvin hagler Brockton Massachusetts to name few.
But ironically the Robinson’s , Ali and ray Leonard’s all were born in towns not very well known for there boxing history
