The best all-time/active fighter from your state, or city in your country

Bob Foster

 

Arizona- Michael Carbajal


Sure enough I and Mr. Carbajal were born on the same day. He just 19 years my senior. :yep



I'm not sure who would be the best active fighter from Arizona. We have a few Pro's who now call AZ home, one of which is Vassili Jirov. I guess I'd go with Jesus Gonzalez.

 

Dublin, IRL: All time: Steve Collins
Current: James Moore, Oisin ***an, Bernard Dunne

 

Evander Holyfield is from Georgia so he prolly a good selection for all time best from Georgia.

 

Current: David Haye
All time: Ted Kid Lewis or Lennox Lewis

 

All Time?
Louis, Hearns, Ketchel, Toney

Current?
Mayweather, Byrd

 

I'm from PG County Maryland, so............



Sugar Ray Leonard is a boxing GOD:yep :yep
We also claim Sharmba Mitchell, William Joppy, Chop Chop Corley, Keith Holmes, Clarence Vinson...I've seen all those guys in Round 1 from time to time.

 

Isn't Kirkland Laing from Nottingham?

 

Nottingham-Herol Graham

 

Born in Lowell Mass; not sure who the best of all time was from there, but recently Micky Ward was from there. Then was raised in St. Pete Florida, where Winky is probably the all-time best, although Tarver could make an argument if you include amateur careers. Now living in Silver Spring Maryland, where the name that jumps out at me is Sharmba Mitchell, although there are plenty of other guys from bordering DC suburbs who would rate ahead of him.

 

Brazil !
Current: Acelino Freitas, 4 time world champion.
All time: Eder Jofre (72-2-4), former WBC and WBA bantanweight champion and WBC featherweight champion, top 3 all-time bantanweight fighter, robbed against Fighting Harada.
