Let's try to reach a general consensus here about the best ever boxers from each country.
Philipines = Pacquiao
UK/Jamaica = Lennox Lewis
Kazakhstan = Golovkin
Denmark = Kessler
Sweden = Johansson
Ukraine = Vitali Klitschko
Yemen = Prince Naseem
Pakistan = Amir Khan
North Korea = Choi Chol Su??
I think this could be very interesting.

Why not do current best.
USA - Terence Crawford
Philipines - Pacquiao
Kazak - Golovkin
Britain - Tyson Fury (Won't be for long)
Sweden - Granat
India - Vijender Singh
Latvia - Mairis Briedis
Russia - Povetkin
Ukraine - Vasyl Lomachenko
Cuba - Guilermo Rigondeuax
That's all I got for now
Canada: Lummox
Denmark: Battling Nelson
Poland: Dariusz Michalszewski or Tony Zale
UK: Jimmy Wilde
Australia: Bob Fitzsimmons
Russia: Sergei Kovalev
Battling Nelson better than Kessler? Based on which wins?
Jamaica: Mike McCallum
Thailand: Khaosai Galaxy
Cuba: Kid Gavilan
Mexico: Sal Sanchez (an argument can be made for JCC)
France: Marcel Cerdan
Nicaragua: Alexis Arguello
Italy: Nino Benvenuti
Colombia: Antonio Cervantes
Argentina: Carlos Monzon
Panama: Roberto Duran
Ukraine: Vitali Klitshcko
Russia: Kostya Tszyu
Australia: Jeff Fenech
Ireland: Jimmy McLarnin
Germany: Max Schleming
USA: Sugar Ray Robinson
Nigeria: Dick Tiger
Puerto Rico: Wilfredo Gomez
UK: Jimmy Wilde
Canada: Sam Langford
Howcome you have Vitali over Wlad?
Yeah, but he learned how to box in Russia.
Also i believe that Fenech it's a good option for australia.
Fenech is the same as Amir.
Fenech's parents are from Malta, but Jeff was born in Australia.
"UK= Ricky hatton"
Froch
What?
I'm not even from the UK but I don't think even Froch himself would agree with that. It's Hatton or Lewis, and Hatton is greater than Froch. The man was his own worst enemy, he had no out of the ring discipline and caused his own early exit like other fighters have.
I was a huge Froch fan, I am one of the few that stood by him in the heat of battle and was campaigning for him to beat Ward in a rematch.

The man had flaws, but had a granite chin and the heard of a lion. A true fighter.
Look at this gem though.

Tszyu would be Australia, not Russia. He fought his entire pro career as an Australian citizen/boxer and his nickname was "thunder from down under".
