From the streets of the south bronx, NY...

Iran Barkley !

I always liked how Barkley insisted on being introduced that way.

It got me thinking, what are the coolest places that fighters hail from ?

I mean that sound the best when Michael Buffer or Jimmy Lennon Jr. announce them.

I'd say a few more are:

From Panama city, Panama....Roberto Duran

From Pensacola, Florida...Roy Jones Jr.

And of course...

From Managua, Nicaragua...Ricardo Mayorga
:cool:

What are your favorites ?

"De Cupey Alto Puerto Riiicoooooooooooooooooo...Felix "TIIIIIITOOO" Trinidad"

"De Culiacan Sinaloa Mexico, El Gran Campeon Mexicanoooo, Julio Cesaaar Chaaavez"

"De La Zona Norte de Tijuana Mexicoooo, Erik "El Terrible" Moooooorales

From Managua Nicaragua "El Flaco Explosivo" Alexis Arguello

Hailing from East LA "The Golden Boy" Oscar De La Hooooyyyya..

A couple of my favorites along with the ones mentioned....IMO the spanish fighters always come off sounding great from Buffer who rolls his "R's" so well

From Ilford, Essex, The Dark Destroyer, Nigel Benn!! :cool:

From Oakland, Jesus Christ. ;D

That's because Fenster calls Andre Ward Jesus, or at least he has. But really my favorites are the ones that didn't quite catch on. As a mean resident of Canada, by way of the United Kingdom, with Jamaican descent, Lennox Lewwwiiisss.
