I first want to say that this is in no way intended as an insult or disrespect towards American Boxing or American posters on here, only towards the User Check whose ignorance is an abyss.
Here is a synopsis of Check’s brilliance with quotes from the earlier thread and i will provide the medal history along with his entertainment.
Now what Check doesn't realize is that Ukraine has only competed at 4 Olympics as an independent country and that the Soviet Union only started competing at the Olympics in 1952. Clearly this poor fellow is one of those children left behind by the american education system.
Summer Olympic Total Medal Count 1952-1992
USA - 982
USSR/Unified Team -1122
Summer Olympic Total Medal Count 1996-2008
Russia & Ukraine - 414 (combined population 188 Million)
USA – 406 (population 311 Million)
Russia - 318
Ukraine - 96
Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, Poland, Bulgaria, and Kazakhstan (current total population of 260 Million, US 311 Million) total medal count is 615 to America's 406.
Well you are right, unintentionally, as they aren’t on par with America in sports. They’re better as above shows. Now for boxing.
Olympic Boxing Medal Count 1952-2008
USA Total – 62
USSR (1952-1988), Unified team (1992), FSU (1996-2008 i only included four FSU countries Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, Kazakhstan) Total - 91
Poland had a successful Boxing history during the Soviet era and if you include their totals to the above totals the count is 128.
Olympic Boxing Medal Count 1996-2008
Russia - 20
Kazakhstan - 13
USA - 13
Ukraine - 9
Belarus - 2
USA - 13 (population 311 Million)
Above 4 FSU Nations - 44 (population 214 Million)
Val Barker Trophy Winners during this period
1996 - Vassiliy Jirov (Kazakhstan)
2000 - Oleg Saitov (Russia)
2004 - Bakhtiyar Artayev (Kazakhstan)
2008 - Vasyl Lomachenko (Ukraine)
Yes let us look at Ukraine specifically
Population
USA – 311 Million
Ukraine – 46 Million
Total Medals Summer Olympics 1996-2008
USA - 406
Ukraine - 96 (America has just under 7x the population of Ukraine with just over 4x the medals)
Olympic Boxing Medals 1996-2008
USA - 13
Ukraine - 9 plus a Val Barker winner
P4P Ukraine is more successful than America.
But the most important thing that you need to keep in mind Check.
Lulz Yes what sense he makes. I wasn't going to replay to this fool but your request changed my mind.
I'd like to commend Dirk and Nodogoshi who brought some common sense to Check's train wreck.
