Boxers from your birthplace/hometown

Name some boxers from the place you were born, or where you consider "home". If you're from a major city youll have to name the district/borough/region rather than the entire city. I'll start:

Hammersmith:

Frank Bruno
Joe Calzaghe (born here, then moved to Wales)
James DeGale
George Groves (unfortunately)

 

Donny Lalonde is the only one i know of.

 

Glasgow

Ricky Burns
Scott Harrison
Benny Lynch
Jim Watt
were wold champs

Craig Docherty & Willie Limmond were recent Commonwealth & European champs.....cant think of any more of the top of my head.

 

Are they all from your section of Glasgow, Hut? Or stretched from across the city?

 

Nah, all over. Benny Lynch was from just over the river in govan. The only famous people I know of from Partick are Billy Connolly and the underappreciated Tosh McKinnly. :bears:

 

Miguel Cotto and Juanma Lopez.

Both from my hometown of Caguas, Puerto Rico.

 

Are you guys all in the same gang?

 

George Chuvalo and I are both from the rugged streets of Toronto.

 

what about Dale Hawerchuk?

 

Iran Barkley
Aaron Davis
Jake LaMotta

 

If your parents stayed in NYC where would you likely have been born and raised?

 

I think they were on Marion Ave. by then, so maybe a dozen blocks from Botanical Gardens

but as a slow, extremely fair-skinned Celt I would have been 0-25 with 25 first-round losses due to an limitless variety of cuts and would thus be in no position to warrant any type of mention in this thread

 

Same as you slice. From around the west london area as you mentioned.

 

I don't know any from Hamilton.

 

What about Srgetovriclaopz?
