i remember my father telling me about how him and his brothers didn't like these dudes. they got into some altercation and my father went back in the house, grabbed a bat, found the dude and they stomped him out after beating him with a bat. this is in queens bridge in the late 70's/early 80's.
what else...
their mom would beat them and/or kick them out if they didn't defend themselves.
lol, my father was a drug dealer back then, too. he straightened his life up, tho.
um...what else...this girl i used to talk to, her mom got shot 7 times by her bf. she lived tho. this is more recent.
i remember the bronx used to be so rough...my mom and i would go visit her friend...we'd take the F from parsons to manhattan, transfer to the D train, get off in the bronx but we would not leave the station. we'd talk to her through the gate in the station.
both her sons got shot in the head...after that she was never the same.
i say that to say this, anybody from ny knows how far it is from jamaica to the bronx so you know it had to have been rough for us to go that far and not even leave the subway station lol.
Thats WILD long, damn. Nice stories though, gotta love a good ol QB story lol.
Since the thread was about fighters I have to go with LA. Starting way back with James Jeffries on up to Bobby Chacon, De La Hoya and Mosely with many in between.
I am not going to bother with the other trend this thread seems to be taking since it has been overdone too many times.
Ofcourse New York has its share, if we talk about the whole state of Florida I could name guys like Roy Jones Jr., Antonio Tarver, Winky Wright, Kimbo Slice, Andre Berto just to name a few.
