    I am not really knowledgeable when it comes to the boxing history but Texas has produced some recognizable boxers in the past such as George Foreman, Orlando Canizales and etc. I been noticing that the state has been becoming a hotbed for boxing in the United States recently, so I wanted to check out if there is anyone that knows any other current contenders or prospects to keep my eye on that I do not know.

    Boxers such as:
    Errol Spence
    Jermell Charlo
    Jesse Rodriguez
    Vergil Ortiz Jr.
    Brandon Figueroa
    Maurice Hooker
    Joshua Franco
    Omar Juarez
    Ryan Karl
    Mario Barrios

    Manny Pacquiao was the best fighter to ever come out of Texas.

    Texas has produced lots of good fighters through the years not the least of whom are Big George Foreman and the "Galveston Giant" Jack Johnson. They also seem to have a brothers thing going on. You mentioned Charlo. There are also Donald and Bruce Curry, Orlin and Terry Norris and the Brothers Canizales, Orlando and Gaby. I am sure there are many others. One of my favorites is the "Uvalde Shotgun" Oscar Albarado.

    Thanks for shedding light on these boxers that I didn't know about. Also didn't know there was so many siblings such as the Charlo brothers until you pointed it out.
