Famous Chicago Boxers?

[The Troll]

There is alot of good fighters from Florida that is for sure and in the east coast alot of fighters come from like Philedelphia, Southern California also has produced alot of top fighters. There is also alot of good fighters from Michigan, and especially the east coast Marciano was from Masschusets. Marciano IMO best heavyweight ever was from Massachusets, and Hagler maybe the best middleweight ever was from Massachusets. Massachusets for a small state, damn!

Marciano fought out of NY, though.

I don't know how good he's considered, but Oliver McCall fought out of Chicago.

Andrew Golota

First, he's a Polish fighter. Secondly, he's a damn coward. He doesn't deserve to be called great.

[Komandos]

Yes he is Polish boxer.I don't like him

[The Troll]

Golota was born in Poland but he officially fights out of Chicago. I wonder if he actually lives in Chicago though, If I had made as much money as him boxing I would move somewhere nicer like Montana or to the mountains in Poland or something.

Why would anyone like him? He's such a ****ing heartless coward! Also, he definitely lives in IL, because it'd be silly for him to travel to the Windy City Gym all the time if he didn't live within an hour of the place.

I understand the anomosity that some have with Golota due to his antics in the ring!!!!!!! But I think he personally suffered much more than you as a boxing fan did! He obviously had a mental problem otherwise why else would he have embarrased himself as he did so many times?? He was a worldclass amateur fighter and a great professional who could have accomplished so much more had he had his head on straight!

What fight are you talking about that he was getting the **** kicked out of him before Tyson? You cannot mean Grant??? That was the last loss he had before Tyson, but he was beating Grant and quit mysteriously after getting knocked down for a 3 count!!

Golota was an underachiever due to an anxiety problem! He seems to have calmed down lately, but due to injuries and surgery he doesn't have the same tools anymore!
