Adrian Stone (Bristol) fought Shane Mosley top of the bill at Caesars Palace

 

Nigel Benn at Bally's

 

I had Bally's down as a small arena, capacity only 4000 from what I can find online.

 

I think you need to make room for Cornelius Boza Edwards on this list Pow. As well as topping the bill at the Showboat on multiple occasions, Corny fought Bobby Chacon and Rocky Lockridge at Caesar's.
Boza was actually based in Vegas in the last years of his career. I'm not sure but I think he still lives there.

 

Very good shout, If Nigel Benn is gets in then I will definitely make room for Cornelius. This has turned out to be quite a niche club, I was expecting to unearth more especially at the lower weights.

 

Cleverly has fought in Las Vegas, but "top of the bill" ?

 

Good point, was on the under card of Mayweather v Mcgregor! Removed.

 

California and Texas tended to be the stamping ground for the smaller guys.

 

Benn also topped the bill vs Quinones at Hacienda in the 80s around the time of Leonard-Duran III (which he attended with Mike Tyson, who warned him to go nowhere near Iran Barkley because he's 'a bad, bad mother')
