Your Country's Best..........

El Salvador

Lightweight: Carlos "El Famoso" Hernandez
Jr. Lightweight: Carlos "El Famoso" Hernandez

Hey, if Mexicans can claim Vargas, then I'm claiming Famoso. It's all we have really... lol

 

iM surprised El Salvador hasnt had alot of top fighters. You do know that Famoso was born in LA, right? He also lives in the same town as i do along with Margarito, and Izzy.
West Covina,Ca

Mexico doesnt claim Vargas,everyone knows he is Mexican American.

 

Gonna revise my Canadian line-up

Heavyweight: Sam Langford
Light Heavyweight: Jack Delaney
Middleweight: Lou Brouillaird
Welterweight: Jimmy McLarnin
Lightweight: Arturo Gatti
Featherweight: George Dixon
Bantamweight: Johnny Coulon
Flyweight: Frenchie Belanger

 

i like it:good sam could go heavy or middle but i like him at heavy. with mclarnin and dixon, we got some damn fine cats in there. and **** it, i love gatti (rip)

 

Yeah, I don't think anyone here is a pushover, to say the least. Coulon reigned for 4 years at bantamweight; Belanger's reign at fly was short, but he's got a victory over Frankie Genero, and Gatti was...Gatti...so at the very least he's going to make his fights exciting.

Edit: And can't forget about Brouillaird, either. Anyone who can beat Mickey Walker and McLarnin is a legit force to deal with.

 

Damn, USA owns all of you.:smoke

 

You know it.

 

Thats right:good Why do you think i didnt even bother to make a list.

 

I tried making a list but it was too tough sometimes as the US has so much depth I wanted to be fair to all eras.

I am shocked though that the Per Capita Powerhouse the US Virgin Islands is absent from this thread so far.

 

Actually they have only had 2 champs, If they are the highest it is because there population is really really low.

Julian Jackson
Emile Griffith are there 2champs(must say though high quality champs) Dont know of any other world class fighters from virgin Islands.

 

For Junior Middleweight we can probably slide Hearns in there. He wasn't at the weight long, but he was certainly effective.

 

And you can also add
JM-Hearns
JL-Mayweather
JF-Jones,Mckinney:huh
JB-Tapia
JF-Carbajal
Mw-Olivio - he fought at jfly and fly but no MW reps.

 

Great all Aussie list (well sort of) mate but if I may be so bold as to suggest a couple of changes

-Troy Waters out and Rocky Mattioli or Charkey Ramon in at Jnr Middleweight

-Kostya Tszyu out and Jack Carroll in at Welter (Tszyu never fought at 147 to my knowledge)

-Hector Thompson out and Kostya Tszyu in at Jnr Welter (Tszyu has to be there,sorry Hector)

-Ambrose Palmer in and Jeff Harding out at Lt Heavyweight (I've a feeling that Ambrose in his prime would've given the Hitman a lesson)

Still a top list of fighters and the changes I'd make are just my personal opinion.

 

Great thread.

 

Id be interested to see a Puerto Rico list, I know they had lots of success recently but I dont know about further back
