Who are some of the greatest fighters to hail from the Bronx? I can think of only a few... Carlos Ortiz, Wilfredo Benitez, Jake LaMotta and Roland LaStarza. Alex Ramos, Saoul Mamby, Lou Del Valle and Lou Savarese don't quite make the cut. Anything would be useful...

Davey Moore the WBA Junior Middlweight Champion from 1982 -1983 was from the Bronx.
Dennis Milton was a great amateur from the Bronx who had success as a pro but no title. He lost a title bid to Julian Jackson but defeated Gerald McClellan, Robbie Simms and Michael Olajide as pros.
