a city being rougher doesnt make them a city with the best fighters.
and the ny comment is you made is exactly what i pointed out earlier , seems like the part of Virginia he was in was filled with haters
LOL at the bolded. He brought a lot of it on himself. You know how yall NYers are. But he was real cool, and most of yall are real cool, you just talk a lot of trash and brag too much.
But i guess i should have said everywhere has good fighters and some not so good fighters. It should be all about the individual though. But like the poster above said, some cities just carry a rep (whether its deserved or not)
Being tough has absolutely nothing to do with geographical location. If that was so, then why was some kid from a little town in Upstate NY--population under 12,000--the best boxer on the planet and at one point seemed to be unbeatable?

if you talk alot of trash and brag to much your not cool yet rather annoying.
but with your bold comment i called the area of virginias haters because it seems that they were giving him attention cause he was from ny

But many relocated NYers are known for that though (generally)..... so are you saying that they can be rather annoying?
But it doesnt annoy me (most of the time), I just understand it as part of their nature and culture......
As far as the bolded earlier, MAJORITY of the time it was a direct result of his mouth and the demeanor he carried and the trash he would talk..... him being from NY just put the icing on the cake for a lot of the people most of the time. LOL!
But the cool NYers are shown love out here just like everyone else. There are a lot of yall out here to be honest. A little trash talk is expected from NYers (and out of towners period) but some take it overboard.
But anyway.... back to the topic

i find it weird though that all these cities starting at Philadelphia going all the way south say they have massive ny transplant , but when i walk the streets of nyc it feels as if no one moved anywhere, and that the only place it seems that the tiny few in my circle move to is atlanta.

just a curious observation i guess.
Yeah thats crazy. Its so many people up there that I guess if a few hundred thousand move away, it doesnt make a difference. And what is the fascination with NYers and ATL?
SN: But Did you know we have at least 7 buses (chinese buses) that travel to NY daily (only cost like $40). And every night the buses are full. I think they have some that travel day time now since the volume of people going back and forth has increased.
There are tough people everywhere, but i guess ill rep for a few fighters from San Francisco:
-Bruce Lee
-Andre Ward (2004 Olympic Gold Metalist boxer. He was undefeated from 1998-2004 during his amatuer career, and is currently undefeated as a pro boxer, with 21 wins, 13 by KO)
-Luke Stewart (MMA fighter)
some more MMA fighters who fight out of San Francisco, but were born elsewhere:
One of my favorite examples of tough dudes in SF laying the smack down is from a news article i read a couple years ago. Some guy went into a pool hall and tried to rob the patrons at gunpoint. Instead of geting robbed however, they all mobbed his ass and beat him with pool sticks.
Also, Clint Eastwood is from SF. He's not a fighter but that's gotta count for something
They might bang hard in NY, but in Philly its everyman for themself.
Kinda like kill the man with the ball
