    One of my favorite aspects of boxing is the world stage. Every region in the world has a fighter, or a history in the sport.

    I will start by mentioning that I love fighters from Latin America like Gavilan, Arguello, Lopez, and more recently Trinidad, Morales, and Barrera. After that, its local southern California fighters like Sugar Shane Mosley from Pomona.

    Anyone want to post a video or give a shout out to fighters from their home town, or there region of ancestry? Feel free, we have people from everywhere here.

    Yeah, that's why I included him. Hilmer gets overlooked too often.
