London's similarly huge and has a much longer history of territoriality (given that it has a much longer history, period) but you don't really hear announcers say guys are from Southwark or Finsbury Park, just London period (granted that more blighted cities like Manchester, Liverpool, and Newcastle tend to be bigger origins for boxers than London town).
Not saying you're wrong, jj - I think you're spot on - it's just a strange aspect of a great city.
