    I came from a famous place that produced me, and my predecessor,two champions,and it also produced probably the greatest killer also..i was a titleholder in a division other than the standard 8 weight classes.

    Hostak, Seattle.


    Whoops after posting this I saw where you stated other than standard eight divisions. You could argue that Hostak fits all of the criteria as well: From Seattle which also produced his predecessor Steele (born there), and where Gary Ridgeway (possibly America's most prolific serial killer) hunted.

    but the greatest killer bit has me thinking germany, and hitler.....if it wasnt for the fact he was born in austria.

    cincinatti had charles manson...and ezzard charles and arron pryor.

    BINGO J, it was Jackie Kid Berg,from Whitechapel ,London, who was the
    jr. Welterweight champion in 1930. Also home to ted kid Lewis before him.
    And the famous "killer " was Jack the Ripper, who murdered and eviscerated many women in 1888.His identity is still uknown...:good
