With out researching! Just from your personal knowledge of boxing. Which 5 countries have produced the most World Champions in Boxing? Take your guess first! Then research!
and regions too......
japan and korea being at the top of the list shows the worth of all the ABC organization's belts.
Actually it was just WBC,WBA,WBO,IBF, and "World Champions" before them
People seems confuse with Country between Continent.....

PR can have Luis Miguel lol. It's tuff to separate by race. There is a difference between citizenship and ethnicity. All in all, I think it was a good job in dividing the countries. How would it be divided be race?
That would be hard also. if you got a guy thats 1/2 white(father) and 1/2 black (mother) then calling him either is arguable, from the race stand point. Even though there are people that would say if they ain't pure white then they are black, ETC. with all races it's the same , Like if you got two puerto rican parents but 1 is white and the other black then you are???? It gets too complicated and sometimes offensive.

what's important is what inside in their passport not their heart or what flag their represent..... de la hoya is american citizen therefore he is american.....
I don't agree with your analysis because it's about legal status. If you analyze it like that, then Puerto Rico doesn't even exist. A nation exists whether it's recognized politically or not, and Puertoricans exist whether their nationality is recognized with a citizenship or not. As it is, all Puertoricans are born with an American citizenship and, legally, the Puertorican citizenship does not exist.
And regarding the list, I consider Wilfred Benítez and John Ruíz Puertoricans. Mexican fight fans obviously know a singer by the name of "Luis Miguel", who clearly is Mexican... however he was born here in Puerto Rico.
It will be difficult to make a list with a definition of nationality based not on legal status, but on identity, but that's the way it should be done. Why? Because Julio César Chávez would be Mexican even if I could produce a document that stated that he was born in Phillipines.

I guess it's all up to the fighter. Kostya Tszyu was born in Russia but his nickname is thunder from down under and he represents Australia. But on the other hand you got Eric Morales who was born in TJ and lives in San Ysidro CA. But is still Mexican.That's why I decided to seperate them by Birth place. If I got too technical it would be a freakin nightmare. I would end up going crazy... like Chalky Wright ...born and raised in Mexico yet he was African/Mexican/ American...He, being black and being born in Mexico was officially the first ever Mexican World Champion. So if I got too simple I'm sorry. I would have taken Months to do all that research.
Relax dude I ain't saying you can't be puerto rican. I'm saying that there are people born in foreign nations that fight for their "motherland" but the fact is they are born to this country. example: Wilfred Benitez was born in the USA but everyone knew he was hispanic, puerto rican to be exact, Example 2: De La Hoya was born in the states , the canizales brothers too, but are considered mexican fighters.

I was close!
Thanks man.
When you say "England" are you meaning the British or just the English?
All British. Sorry in the USA we rarley call it Great Britain. Usually we just call it England.
If Puerto Rico is not in the top 5 than the info you got is going off TOTALS, because Puerto Rico has produced THEE most World Champions PER CAPITA than any other country in the world.
The question wasn't per capita, it doesn't work that way. Question was country as a whole. If it was like that you could argue that mexico city has produced the greatest boxers, or the New York area, or the L.A. area of the U.S.
Answer:
1. USA
2. Mexico
3. Japan
4. England
5. "Korea"
that is it folks. Look it up if you don't believe me.
Oh Puerto Rico was in 6th
I was close!
Thanks man.

Exactly, so did you list Benitez under a Champion for Puerto Rico or the US and did you list De La Hoya as a Mexican Champ or an American Champ?
and I'm relaxed as can be brother, just wanted to state my point, thats all.
Benitez is an American, as is De La Hoya. At least the way I decided to
seperate them.

So your telling me that for example, the child of a military man stationed oversees, lets just say, Japan, and that child was born in Japan, under your research criteria that child would be considered Japanese?
I'm a New York born Puerto Rican, doesn't take away my Puerto Rican nationality does it? I speak, read and write fluent spanish, have lived in Puerto Rico and know my culture very well, does that still NOT make me Puerto Rican?
