Yep. You mean Ray Leonard from Severna Park, MD (Baltimore suburb) and Winky Wright from St. Petersburg, FL? I sure have. Any other non-DC fighters you want to bring up?

Give it up already. DC's an okay town, but nobody thinks of it as a cool, hip place.

DC is a misplaced Greek city.

How so? It's a very nice city, and I enjoy DC very much...but what do you mean? Just because it has a bunch of government monuments and buildings?

I believe he is referring to the Greek inspired architecture, the pillars and such. Somewhat reminiscent of a modernized version of Athens.

Rocky and drago...lol. DC has a much more strong impact on culture all over the world and's known for more things than philly.
DC also has a higher crime rate for a city so small. U wanna add that too?
Dc is ok but it is definitely overrated. The only reason why it gets a pass is because it is the Nation's captiol. Other than that I don't see the appeal. Take this from someone who has visited many times.
U do have beautiful women tho.... thats it.

Nephi,

You also forgot no Superbowls! Ask Jill Scott why she put a go go beat to her song "It's Love." Put any wack Philly rapper up against my man Wale.

Everything shuts down in Philly at 1:45 a.m. And to the poster who tried to go on how we dress in DC, get real son. Dudes in Philly rock purple tims. Offbrand dudes.
Get real dude. No one thinks of DC as a party city. Get over urself. CTFU!!
And u use that lame Jill Scott example... puh-lease.
