    Michigan is tough with Thomas Hearns and PBF both being from there.
    UNLESS you consider PBF to be from Las Vegas where he has resided for a while now.


    For Arkansas I'm thinking Jermain Taylor would be a good candidate.

    Maybe this will help get things for now.
    For every story told that divides us, I believe there are a thousand untold that unite us.

    Good thread. Seriously, not trying to be funny, but is Tye Fields the best Montana has offered?

    I think James Toney would argue with you

    Hmmm Toney vs. Hearns there is an interesting argument to be made for both. Hearns had tougher competition, titles at Welter, Light Middle, Middle, super Middle and Light Heavy. Toney had titles at Middle, Super Middle, Cruiser and Heavy.

    Hmm I have a hard time finding something that justifies Toney over the real Hitman.

    Damn! that's gonna take a while...


    I just remembered something anyone remember which fighters (I think it was 3) who all grew up on the same block or something like that. I remember reading that somewhere but can't remember the exact details.

    I think Paz was better than Manfredo.
