I wondering what American region you guys feel produces the best fighters lets keep trash talk to a minimum what made me even think of this is a old clip about Roger saying midwest has the best fighters so I figured it would make a interesting discussion. Posters outside of the U.S please state your opinions as well. If anybody is missing off the lists (I'm pretty sure there is alot) or you feel a fighter in a different region should be in another one let me know(along with the reason) and I will add or remove boxers from one region to another. One other thing lets assume all these boxers are at they very best obviously as I tried to add past present and future boxers from all eras. Northeast Robinson (Think he moved to Harlem around 12-13 where he developed boxing skills and amateur career, its debatable because sometimes he is considered a midwestern fighter) Leonard (Born in NC raised in MD where he learned to box) Hagler Tyson Bowe Hopkins Holmes (Moved to PA around 8 or so where he developed boxing skills) LaMotta Fraizer Judah Pep Dawson Marciano M.Taylor Barkley Briggs Cooney McGirth Moorer Gans Russell Jr. Patterson Langford Greb Walcott Tunney L.Peterson Midwest Mayweather Family Hearnes (Moved to MI where he developed boxing skills) Pryor Louis Armstrong (moved to St. Louis where he developed boxing skills) Moore (see Armstrong) Toney Mancini Spinks Family Pavlik Griffin Nunn Broner Dirrell Norton Douglas McClenium McCall E.Charles Alexander Liston(based in the south but I think moved to St.Louis where he found boxing) South Ali Holyfield Foreman Jones Jr. Tarver Whitaker P.Williams J.Taylor Wright (Born in DC grew up in FL) Forrest Berto Johnson Cloud Lacy Kirkland West Coast De La Hoya Mosley Vargas Ward Dempsey Garcia Family Corrales Bradley Guerrero Ortiz (moved from Kansas to California I think where he develop boxing skills) Rios (see Ortiz) Donaire (born in Philippians moved to Cali where he found boxing) Trout G.Hernandez Notes: Alot of fighters such as Holmes, Patterson, Moore, Robinson Hearnes etc where actually born in the south then moved to the inner cities like alot of blacks did at the time so if they stayed the south would have much more fighters and would hands down be the best, and if Mexico was apart of California would have much more boxers as well. In the present day Midwest and West Coast are producing better fighters than the Northeast and South.
