    All time it's probably Barney Ross unless I'm missing someone. Lately? Hard to say. I'd guess David Diaz or Fres Oquendo. It does seem like there's a lower than average percentage of good boxers who come out of Chicago though.

    We all start hussling dope when we turn 12.......it's pretty much a prerequisite for graduating into middle school:lol::lol::lol:

    Molina is a badass. Oquendo......proud of him, but McCall is probably better ATG ranking(wishing I never sold him his first 20 now....I told him to go easy on this ****, but he didn't know nutting bout dese cocopuffs:nut)

    David Estrada aint an altogether bad fighter....just couldn't crack the Alevel. Still gave it his best in all his fights, and could beat alot of contenders if he didn't constantly take fights with champs.

    Ross was the first fighter that came to mind when I saw this thread.
