    Connecticut, if only for Willie Pep. Overall though, Michigan has to rank up there (SRR, Hearns, others), along with Pennsylvania.

    Michigan.

    SRR, Joe Louis and Hearns.

    Per capita they have to be right up there.

    Certainly its east coast, out where I live they play soccer and snowboard, boxing, what's that? NY, NJ and Pennsylvania for sure! Can't argue with Michigan either.

    What about Cali? There's a lot of good boxers originating from the Bay Area, along with all the fighters in and around Los Angeles... I'm Bias

    Michigan can't be ****ed with.

    It's where Sugar Robinson was born.

    They also have Joe Louis, Stanley Ketchel, Jamez Toney, Floyd Jr, and Hitman Hearns.

    There was some chump on here who said what the hell is a Michigan Warrior? We have azteca and mexican warriors, but no michigan warriors.

    Anyways, he shut his AZZ up and avoided the thread after realizing none of his azteca warriors even top any of those Michigan guys on the ATG list.
