    he was born in newark NJ though, where as the Rock was born and raised in brockton...so even if you dont think Marciano was in any way a better fighter..you can still give it to the Rock since Brockton wasnt really Haglers hometown...i guess i should of specified fighters with the same home town as you.

    Given the natures of his memories from the two locales, I'm fairly certain if you asked Marvin himself what he considers to be his childhood home it isn't going to be Newark. :yep Fair enough, though.

    yea..i mean he was somewhat young when he moved to brockton...13..moved their after the riots..and brockton is where he started boxing....but yea....its just...if you count every city a guy moves to and back..it gets overly complicated...plus i need to count terry mcgovern...because otherwise i have nothing.

    but yea...both The rock and marvelous did come from the boxing culture of brockton, which speaks well for that little city. of 60,000-100,000 (depending on when)

    Not a city famous for its fistic talent, Lee McAllister is probably the most famous, right now. But I have a feeling Johnny Kidd was by far the better fighter, just have to research him a bit more.
