Sounds about right. Virtually all boxers start out poor, and Manchester is the English equivalent of the American hood.

Philly hasn't produced anything big in a while. So Cal has bee producing better fighters for years now! We have the luxory of having Tijuana right next door, too, which provides some of the best boxers n the world as well! If they want to emulate anybody, it should be So Cal!

No place in the entire world has better cheese-steaks then philly. Actually, we got some great Pizza and Cheese-steaks up here in the east-coast. ****s mad addicting too because you'll end up spending most of your money on it because it taste so freaking good. Oh yeah, WaWa is the ****.
