The man that put philly on the map was not bhop

Harold Johnson another favorite of mine. There's a great website about Philly Boxing if anyone wants to check out: www . PhillyBoxingHistory. .com

 

Bros always set things right! :yep:good

 

Tell that to Rhodesia!

 

Is that your sister's name, Rhodesia Willis? :smoke

 

She just converted to Islam and changed it to Dar es Salaam!

 

The answer to this is clearly Philadelphia Jack O'Brien. They named the city after the man, and that's all the convincing I need.

Technically, the answer is Horus Williams, the man who draw the original map of Philadephia and merged it with the map of the United States of America.
He's the man who put Philly on the map.

 

Yea I was thinking Joe Frazier.

 

You might not go that far but yo mama will:rofl:-(

:smoke

 

Angel Garcia is Phillys finest











comedian

 

:good

 

George Benton was mentioned in passing, so to elaborate a bit...He was better known as a trainer of Pernell Whitaker, but was a fine middleweight contender in his own right. Among the best defenders in the history of the sport.

 

First off, Stallone is not a B movie actor. Second, The City of Philly did not erect a statue of Stallone. That statue was made specifically for the movie. They gave it to the city afterwards.

 

I am not sure if Giardello was clearly from Philadelphia, check that out. I say he was from Brooklyn and started fighting out of South Philly.

 

Sadly when you say Philly and boxing most people won't think of Hopkins, Frazier or Giardello but Rocky Balboa...
