Now, if there's similar interest in the same sport between two countries, and one has a huge population advantage over the other, it stands to reason that the bigger country will have more champions.

Also apparently you think very highly of Wonder Boy Lopez since you put him twice in the list...

Yet we have managed to become a meca on boxing, basketball, baseball just to name a few sports. Same goes with actors, singers and even a few Miss Universe.

I'd say most economically developed countries have a few things to be proud of. Puerto Rico has the great advantage of being a U.S. territory. I'm not sure how much that's appreciated. Economic strength is a tremendous asset, to say the least.

Say what you want about the state of Puerto Rico boxing today. But historically, they are probably the #1 exporter of elite world class boxers in a per capita sense.
Puerto Ricans have been to boxing what Samoans are to the NFL.
