    ummmm......

    Paul Williams
    B-Hop
    Chad Dawson

    ...I think...


    Chicago, probably...

    Oliver McCall
    Andrew Golota
    David Diaz

    (considered Chicagoans, yes)

    ...if McCall's retired, then Mike Mollo. If Golota retires, then Fres Oquendo.

    Yeah, Wiki and Boxing Recs says Tijuana but I have seen it said elsewhere that he was born in Cali or Texas or some such place.

    Can't we drop all this pedantic stuff anyway? Does Marg consider himself American or Mexican? What matters is what he thinks.

    Let's drop the shite about Britain too. I swear down it gets nowhere!! It goes on for ever but no one will ever agree and you will all just end up repeating what you have already said 50 times. Pointless!
    ****s the thread up for everyone else too.

    One more quick thing about the Britain situation.

    Can you Americans and Europeans (and anyone elsewhere) see now why we have been warring and killing each other in the UK for 2000 years?:)

    Add a bit of religion, ethnic cleansing and opression and what we have in this thread is a small scale version of the history of The British Isles.

    the thread title doesnt say

    "who are the 3 best boxers who represent your country but were born in a different country"

    antonio margarito was born in the good old united states of america.... obviously hes going to rep the fact that he's mexican ... latin's overall have a strong sense of pride and represent their heritage more than the fact that they are from (BORN INSIDE OF) the united states of america...

    antonio margarito was born in AMERICA!!!

    you cant debate that

    link?

    Margo is indeed an American citizen. Technically, so is Cotto.
