    Jackie "the kid" Berg needs to be mentioned somewhere on this thread. Trained by Ray Arcel after he moved to the states and beat Kid Chocolate. He was from Stepney according to his wiki page.

    And why no Ricky Hatton. There's only one.

    Because that is where he is from Miles Platting
    You need to do a bit more research mate, he has never boxed out of Salford because he is not from Salford.

    Also mate sorry to say Jamie Moore in 2003 was the first man from Salford to lift the British title for 98 years when he won it v Michael Jones how would that be the case if Brodie was from Salford?

    that is true

    brodie definately has some ties with salford, he was in the advertiser regularly as a salford fighter

    i have seen him around the place too (sainsburies and B&Q to be precise )

    next time you see him ask him

    Lloyd Honeyghan for beating the great Curry and defending the undisputed title on a number of occasions.
    Kevin Luishing who dropped Trinidad and fought an epic fight against a local fighter whose name I have forgotten
    Richard Williams who could have been a contender and lost to Martinez before he came famous.
    Ricky Hatton for beating the great Tzsyu and becoming undisputed champ at the weight by not hiding behind Frank Warren's apron unlike Joe Galzaghe.
    Froch for having the mettle to fight Pascal, Taylor, Dirrell, Kessler, Abraham, and then Johnson, Andre Ward next.

    Good stuff. I shall steal it.
