    Floyd-Light
    Hearns-Welter
    Robinson-Middle
    Toney-Super Middle, Light Heavy, Cruiser type
    Louis-Heavy
    With Ketchel boxing utility

    Can anyone beat this team with another geographically based team? (It is up to you if you want to claim Chicano's for Mexico) I'd say Philly is second, but it is not even close.

    I don't expect many, or really any, to beat this, but if you can't, could you please put down a similar team for your geographical region anyway? Thanks

    Robinson was from Georgia wasn't he? His family moved to Detroit after his father moved there to work , and then later to NY with his mother and 2 sisters.

    And Louis was from Albama

    Louis moved to Detroit when he was 12, and started boxing at a rec center in Detroit. Robinson supposedly lived on the same block as Joe when Louis was only seventeen, which would make Robinson living in Detroit when he was 11.

    Yeah then Robinson moved to NY in 1932 I think! (when he was 12 or so)

    I bet there's a decent list you could make of NY fighters actually!
