i think cuba makes the best boxers p4p for their population. if they were allowed to go pro i think cuba would be dominating the lower weight classes.
just my 2 cents.
It all comes back to training. You can breed a great fighter but nit a great boxer.
Great boxers are trained and so the best training is in the USA therefore, sadly, USA wins it in my book.
They know how to teach people the skills.
Next would be Mexico.
Then PR.
Then UK.
Then Japan.
You listed Japan, but no Cuba?
The USA, it would had been nice that Cuba would had been in the mix but you have career amateurs that dominate that should had been allowed to go pro cause the long time fighting against other new batch of amateurs that move along.
One thing, the Russians are comming and they are comming in force at all weight classes.
Mexico and PR have boxing in their culture and always have provided great boxers
Per capita puerto rico for sure has the best boxers, just like they have more homosexuals and queers per capita in the entire world right ?
The per capita bull **** again.
Really? yet in current time they only have 3 champions out of how many weight clases and how many belts? Mexico has the same number of champs in a single weight class (light weight) and mexico also has the same number of unified champs as pr has. And pr is better producing?
PlayerPimp... Thiago said PER CAPITA. Of course, PR has lot more boxing champions per capita. Mexico population is about 111 millions. PR population is about 3.7 millions.
which country breeds the best boxers?
If that is the question, then the right answer is USA.
not quantity son
Cuba does in reality, look at their olympic performance...if their country was more open to pro boxing they would DOMINATE
Lets make clear a point. Puerto Rico is used to have many OMB champs(Rican president)... Some of them not really big thing... A clear example is in Wilfrido Vazquez Jr., became champ on superbantam beating Sonsona (superflyweight)... This kid has still a lot to probe..
I give credit to Juama Lopez, he is a great Champ, and in recent times Cotto also has my respects...
I'm seriously sick of this whole "if only Cubans could go pro, they'd dominate" argument.
Rigondeaux, Gamboa, and Lara are supposedly their best exports thus far, and not a damn one of them have impressed me much, if at all, thus far.
Joel Casamayor's sweat is worth more than all 3 of them put together.
As for best countries producing fighters, it's the United States, Mexico, and Puerto Rico.
I'll let you decide the order in which they go - because if I do so, I'll just get labelled a racist.
I think as of right now...You can put them in any order. They're the best countries. If we talking about all time then it is hands down USA.
And, I also agree about Cuba. I think they're the best in producing amateur boxers. But, pro boxers not so much.
