    My hometown is pretty weak in producing boxers. Unless I'm missing some oldtimer, our best fighters were Sammy Goss, Terrance Cauthen and Bang Bang Bogner.

    On the other hand we spawned two current members of the US Supreme Court.

    Not knowing how good the older guys are I will say Jeff Fenech, my old man saw him live a few times and 'knew' him, as they grew up in the same area (my old man is from Tempe) and I used to know his wife Suzie, who is a nice lady.

    Kostya is up there too, even as an adopted Aussie, met him a few times and he is a good bloke, my fam' know him well and my little brother used to play with his boy, who is a good up and comer these days, as an amuture.

    Live In West End Now which is right on the river, near the city.

    Ever go to Peakes Inn?, lol not the best place, but had a few laughes there.

    Yagoona is ok, grew up there, so I am used to it. Lol, used to go to the clubs in the shire, with a few cars and the first thing they would say is, you guys are not from around here are you.
