Sugar Ray Robinson was born in Georgia and Joe Louis was born in Alabama...it's kind of like saying Joe Frazier is "from" Philadelphia (he was born in South Carolina).

.....sorry this is probably just the repressed rage I have for when Roger Mayweather says "the greatest fighters ever are from the midwest"

I can hit Michigan with a rock from my front yard on a good day. A bad day, maybe just take out one of the yooper snow mobile'ers. Not sure whats happening in Detroit, expected a lot more competition from there. They sure have the demographics for a strong base of fighters.

ahaha :P Well he is right. But yeah I put Louis up there because he was raised here and has an ARENA named after him! So he has at least some form of connection to the state
