Two cities have been blessed with an abundance of talented fighters in this great division. So I have put together a mini Tournament to determine which city would win out over the other in this talent laden division. One of Boxing's richest. Each city will have 12 fighters in three seperate groupings. Whichever city wins the most groupings, wins the tournament. There will be three groups.( A. B. & C). Each city will have four fighters per group. When a cities fighters are eliminated. that grouping is decided. If a city has multiple victors & the Tournament advances. That city can decide which fighter will represent them in the next round. Whoever wins two of the three or all three groupings, Wins the Tourney. Tried to match up the fighters with the cities as best I could. Some are not nec. born in the city, but did reside there & represented it throughout thier career. New York: Jake La Motta, Ray Robinson, Rocky Graziano, Carmen Basilio, Vito Antuofermo, Davey Moore, Iran Barkley, Mustafa Hamsho, Alex Ramos, John Duddy, Rubin Carter, Doug DeWitt. Philadelphia: Bernard Hopkins, Bennie Briscoe, Frank Fletcher, Eugene Hart, Willie Monroe, Curtis Parker, Joe Harris, Joey Giardello, George Benton, James Shuler, William "Cave Man" Lee, Bobby Watts. These are the fighter I came up with. I know Moore is a Jr. Middle, but he's gonna have to step up for this one. Of course there are other, which I nay have nissed. but this is a pretty competitive field. Should make for some interesting match ups.
