    Many boxing experts (who know about early 20th century boxing) consider me one of the greatest featherweight fighter of all time. I raised in New York, but I was born in a city that you might not "know" but that you do "see".

    nope..i will give two more hints. Inspite of his "greatness" his greatest win may well have been a thrown fight. my second hint, is to mention his birthplace again, the answer is right before your eyes.
