Hmm, boxrec says he is australian.....but you are right, I checked and he is South African by birth......

 

USA never had a straweight title belt ?

 

I was randomly looking at that earlier, and there wasn't a dayum one.

 

That´s all then I guess.....the only other country I would say that isn´t mentioned in the thread was USA, but I don´t think there was an american belt holder at straweight as afterglow said....

 

ruiz is of puerto rican decent but he is american. puerto rico is a territory of the US so technically the US could make your list.

 

Was about to say this. :deal

 

Nice find. I was pretty impressed that I recognise all of them names besides Jose Torres. Sick avator too, Rigondeux is the truth :happy

 

:goodGreat call Vic!
