    Now, we all know how poor the US Midwestern circuit is, with fighters able to get wonderfully inflated records on it. I was just wondering if there are any fighters who though predominantly on that circuit that ended up holding one of the 'major' belts?

    Oh, I was first thinking of Michigan fighters like Hearns, Robinson, Mayweather, and Louis.

    Not sure about those who were on that "circuit" who did that well.
