States with the best fighters?? (highest, cons, California)

[blkgiraffe]

Which states do you think have the best fighters?? As far as boxers to your average joe.

I don't know which current state has the best boxers, but I know which former Commonwealth has the best boxer:

Puerto Rico, and I really think its hard to argue it.

New York, Pennsylvania and Michigan have to be considered as well.

I vote PA, especially from a historical perspective

I would add New Jersey to that list, not really boxing, but everytime I watch MMA I feel like every fighter is from Jersey

If Puerto Rico were a state....

I am not sure but I heard Hawaii had good fighters, maybe someone should look that up?

As far as boxing I don't know. Seems to be pretty spread throughout the globe nowadays.

For MMA, California hands down. Whether they originate from here or have simply relocated here to fight, to the best of my knowledge the highest concentration of great MMA fighters in any US state is and has always been in CA.

Yeah, Puerto Rico isn't a state technically but it has some of the best fighters of any state. Guys like:
César Seda, Jr. International Boxing Organization Flyweight September 18, 2009 Héctor Camacho World Boxing Empire Light middleweight July 18, 2008 Iván Calderón World Boxing Organization and The Ring Light flyweight August 25, 2007 Juan Manuel López World Boxing Organization Super bantamweight June 7, 2008 Román Martínez World Boxing Organization Super featherweight March 14, 2009 Victor Fonseca International Boxing Association Bantamweight March 22, 2008
