    Paul Williams is from Aiken South Carolina.

    Shame, because nobody in my state knows him.

    Pavlik? I don't know, but they always seem to make a big fuzz that he's from Youngstown, Ohio. ( I'm not from the states, so am not sure)

    Yeah, however, there's a number of German boxers of Arabian and Turkish descent in boxing. Nothing too spectacular really.
