    What can I say, we breed fighters ... Peter Quillin is the latest to make it out of the City of Grand Rapids to the biggest stage in boxing and is on his way to becoming another world champion from GR.
    Tony Tucker
    Buster Mathis
    Floyd Mayweather Sr.
    Roger Mayweather
    Jeff Mayweather
    James Toney
    Peter Quillin
    and the greatest fighter of all-time Pretty Boy Floyd Mayweather !!

    Except for the last part about Floyd Jr being ATG, you are spot on, the ATGs fight the best of their time not past prime, not for hype, you know that. May is 1-2 fights away depending on how you see it.

    YOu didn't make them though, and to be honest if we are going to go where people resided, Ray Robinson would be a NYC fighter.

    You northern people always try to claim southern born talent. Floyd Mayweather is from Texas by the way.

    There must be something wrong in the waters of michigan. Too much lead and mercury makes the brain slow.
