[Tha Greatest]

All the great fighters came from the North

Chicago is not a place where many champions have been born, but it's the place where champions have been made...

Jimmy Barry is one of Chicago's greatest fighters!

This HOF'er was also the first ever bantamweight champion, and one of the few champions in history that retired with an undefeated record.

I fought as a amatuer from 1977 to 1985,and we had had some of the baddest amatuer fighters around at that time.

C'mon, I can't think of any but there has to be some famous boxers to come out of the Windy City Boxing Gym.

I'll Have to Study the Chicago situation, how about a best of list for the greatest fighters to ever come out of OSHKOSH WISCONSIN ?? A TRUE Boxing fan could at least name ONE.
