Chicago boxers

[emoneyboxer]

I'm trying to compile a list of Chicago boxers, including win/loss records. These can be Chicago boxers from the past or present. I'm looking for about 200 names. The info will be used to create a boxing restaurant in Chicago. Can anyone help? Any experts on this board?

Can't talk about Chicago without mentioning Johnny Coulon -Canadian born but Chicago grown- former bantam champ. Johnny ran a boxing gym for over fifty years in the south side of the Windy City and it was my honor and privilege to have been one of his fighters -amateur- in the sixties.
