If LA pushes fade culture so much, why haven’t they produced any great black boxers

No to modern day Detroit. Replace them with Cleveland or DC
People don't become great boxers by running the fade, they just go in and out of the system. Great boxers are built by kids hanging out in boxing gyms from a young enough age and I never saw any gyms in Black neighborhoods in LA. I did know one boxer personally who fought in a title bout but he was old school (1980s) and punchdrunk by the time I knew him.
But thread is disrespectful to Sugar Shane Mosley, that's probably the only boxer in my life outside of Tyson that I seriously stanned in real time (not counting, say, Tyson or Floyd who I wanted to see keep winning cause they were great but never felt personal about it). Mosley held the title in three weight classes, beat De La Hoya twice, and had Mayweather ducking him for 10 years.

All dem nikkas live in nice houses, dey ain’t dat tuff.
We have our own version of events and we ain't budging.
Tony Harrison and Cornelius Brundage disagree, both were champions. Jonathan Banks, Tony Harrison and Cornelius Brundage all have gyms in or around the city. We'll be back.

Unfortunately most California dude's don't have hands like that. All the ones I've come across couldn't squab.
They're great at bluffing. If you go check out all the fights that have been recorded from CMac on down for years, I haven't seen one who could chunk em.
I've even seen some of their O.G.' looking crazy. I wish I saved all those videos.
I just remember it's been 2 total that have had hands. One from Watts named Kaos, A Crip I can't remember the set. Another dude from Kitchens named Swamp.
In the mean time Houston putting hands on Baton Rouge.

This thread funny as hell 
The only new-ish black fighters I can think of from the SoCal region are Tim Bradley featherfisted ass & Shane Mosley
