Ra's, Arredondo was born in Mexico and fought out of Mexico and the west coast of the U.S. Ncita was from South Africa and fought out of South Africa. He had a couple of fights in Italy (as many as he had in the U.S.), which really shouldn't qualify him. I am still curious however, of who Francisco Rossi is. I never heard of him and can't find him in boxrec. Can you elaborate on the era he fought in and against whom? Are you thinking of Paolo Rosi?
Hi Scar. He mend Gianfranco Rosi. Jnr middle that fought Honeyghan and Pyatt back in the day, I think.
Okay, that makes perfect sense. Man, I just couldn't put 2 and 2 together on that one. Rosi is a sound choice, although I hated watching him back in the day. He could really put me to sleep. He was very strong but I recall always thinking, 'well, this is going to be 12 rounds of boredom.' I think the only time he surprised me was when he stopped Duane Thomas. I did not see that one coming. Thanks for the clarification, Eddie.

I've been to two of the Canary Islands on vacation. Had a lot of fun both times although all the restaurants were English, German or French because of the tourist. Couldn't find any local food. I love Spanish jamon.....do the Canaries have their own jamon?
