    You forgot the future king at Featherweight. Antonio Escalante!!! (technically, he is from Juarez, but it's pretty much the same thing)

    I don't think anyone's mentioned the really obvious one:

    Canastota, NY
    Population 4,400
    Birthplace of Carmen Basilio and Billy Backus.

    There's a reason they decided to put the IBHOF there.

    Tommy Cordova was also a tough and exciting fighter who fought on Espn a few times he was more of a gatekeeper.

    Unfortunately for him he just had to many great countrymen who outshone him alltime. There are only so many Argentineans that people will care to remember, which is a shame.

    He was a very decent fighter.

    Maybe hasnt produced World Champs but 3 olympians.

    Hector Lopez fought for Mexico, but was raised in Glendale and was a top contender off and on for quite a few years. I thought he beat Kostya Tszyu but the decision didnt go his way. Most of his losses were by very close decision 41-7-1-23 kos

    Pepe Reilly- Good puncher from the 92 team never made it far as a pro heard he didnt like to train much. but went 15-4-2-11kos

    Vanes Matryosian- good prospect top 15 guy by now. Missed his fight last week but i heard he got a gift. 04 US team pro record 27-0-0-17 kos
