I feel you. Not trying to argue against anything you said because I get it. Our outlet down here is football. Up their it’s basketball/boxing. Although I will add most guys here on down to S Fla tends to gravitate more towards MMA then boxing these days. It’s probably more mma and karate gyms then boxing gyms down here and they are steadily building new ones.....I said that in a comment after that, that you do have put out some guys every once in a while(are any of them even from Tampa? I know a couple are from St. petersburg). But the point still stands.
To use football as an example. If someone tells you they were all dade in football you know they were a good football player. If someone tells you they were all county in Vermont. That doesn't really mean schit. Vermont Im sure has put out a couple NFL players, but its not known for it. NYC is basically the boxing version of South Florida.
I just wanted to kill that noise about no respected boxer coming from here. St. Pete, Clearwater, and Tampa is all the same thing. That’s like someone being from Yonkers. To y’all their it might not be the same but to everyone else that’s a part of NYC
