The Bay Area Trio: Unmatched throughout the world.

Its about damn time as Southern Cali has been picking up the slack for tooooooooo long.. HAHHA! What i mean by that is that most of the top tier fighters out of Cali have been from Southern Cali. There have been quite a few champions from Sactown though.. .. Its good to see some elite guys coming from the other cities.

 

So elaborate some more, how many are actually from this 'bay area'.

 

chaves junior is from south cali(went to school there) i also think alfonso gomez is south cali native although not superstars still well worth noting

Oscar dela hoya although he isnt respected by many of the mexican natives who claim he isnt an honourable fighter? I think he is well respected by his boxing peers.
Sugar shane mosley
fernando vargas(la coronia oxnard)
sergio mora
vernon forrest(rip)
Victor ortiz(la coronia oxnard)
brandon rios (la coronia oxnard)just won the wba strap
all from southern cali
antonio margaritto isnt from southern cali but trained at la coronia for bouts which included his defeat to manny pacquiao and therefore highlights the quality of the southern cali fight scene

 

nonito is from the phillipines tho

 

Nonito i think was raised in the united states from age 10 but he is consdiered naturalised in america but remains pinoy still embraces both cultures and learned his boxing in the states

 

he reps the phillipino flag but not the usa one, says it all

 

Actually Oscar is either loved or hated by Mex/americans id say more loved though. Chavez is A Mexican fighter i never heard of him being raised here or even heard him speak english. Gomez is from whittier.

Your just mad cause California alone kicks ass on all of England So much for your "Oh but you guys are a great big big country and were just a wee little island" England has like 15 to 20 million more people than California and we still kick your ass..


California Ko 1 England:dead:!:

 

how do you 'kick england ass'? By naming a bunch of guys who moved to cali for boxing reasons, not by naming california born fighters. Its the same with Vegas, fighters move thier from around the world to train etc as that is probably the central hub of boxing. You dont see non-americans moving to ohio do you! name your current top 5 cali boxers....real cali, not 'moved here so now they are californain'...england kos them

 

chaves jr went to Ramona high school in riverside southern california that is a fact

 

and are these three unmatched? Froch, Haye and Khan are all born within 200 miles of each other,

 

Yes many fighters mentioned all good inc up and comers. chavez jr went to Ramona high school riverside southern california there are many schools in southern california where spanish speaking (mexicans speak spanish)teachers take lessons including english

 

The united kingdom is very different in size and landscape, culture to the united states

Nottingham is very different from london and bolton(lancashire) is very different from both they have different accents although they all speak english there backgrounds are very different from a no of perspectives when taking into account cultural differences fighting styles..

 

nonito is from the otherside of the ****ing planet so its way more credible three than the op's
