I would say there would be a lot of nationalities up there but boxing is a nothing sport in most countries, as in barely even participated in and definitely not professionally, i mean even a lot less than basketball for example around the world, but that sport does seem to be getting more popular outside of the US it seems to me anyways

This is the real question I wanted to ask the posters. I wanted someone with more knowledge than me to tell me why American fighters have been so dominant. Was the rest of the world not that interested in boxing? I really don’t know the answer to that question but it is a really great question I wish someone would elaborate on. I got some ideas, of course... on the negative side we can talk about the massive wealth inequalities in the US, institutionalised racism which prevented a sizable portion of your population from finding a decent living by more reliable means, on the positive the aspirational underclass associated with a young and forward looking nation, the relative wealth of the US and associated advances in nutrition (especially in the light of the two world wars which devastated the other traditional home of the sport, the European continent) and Americas early embrace of telecommunications and mass media. Add to that that the Communist half of the world disallowed professional sports, and much of the rest of the world was too busy crawling out from under the Colonial yoke to have much time for anything other than scratching a living (and sometimes dodging bombs) and you got part of an answer.... I'm sure there's other reasons, in fact I can think of a half dozen off the top of my head, but that's probably enough to be going on with.

So much sexual innuendos from you lad But it’s 2019 and it’s ok for you to be gay now Cry

I think the point is that if you have to resort to the past as a measure of greatness, then something's gone wrong. USA boxing is suffering currently, that is difficult to deny I think the point is that if you have to resort to the past as a measure of greatness, then something's gone wrong. You brits still celebrating Calzaghe win over Roy Jones gtfoh with that. We talk about all time greats all the time on here. How’s this any different? America is most definitely suffering and STILL has the most fighter in the top 25 and top 50. That should tell you something

More pictures of men lad Are we surprised anymore https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn%3AANd9GcQ8YNU5OnUj6wEQ1nMJUclFzmtpCdwTzSaPI588_MUQnXFgmGxC https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn%3AANd9GcRYE5p8Plcc-LmD402xUvp92qhCxGtq5zPVt9QSgRSi-cxDcsnz

. Also comparing todays P4P rankings from the same source appear to suggest that US domination is a long way from being as complete as it once was... what do you think the reasons for this might be... and do you think that it's a good think that the sport seems to be becoming more multinational? https://screenshots.firefox.com/boBJJ0lJ2BEfyuj8/boxrec.com I don’t worry too much about that because the top 50 is still filled with Americans.The reason it really doesn’t matter at the moment is because the guys in the top 50 are still competing none of their careers are over. We still have the most in the top 25 but barely hanging on by a thread. I think the reason American fighters are not as dominate could be contributed to the larger contracts the mlb nba and nfl offer that they weren’t offering in the Golden years of prizefighting. Another reason could be the rampant awareness of CTE in America. I really can’t say for sure. Boxing becoming multi national is what keeping the sport alive so it could only be a great thing. One of the things I like about it the most is the ability to learn about other culture. Dope! My favorites are the guys coming out of Eastern Europe. Savages.

What do you think the reasons are... are American citizens genetically superior to the rest of humanity do you think?... Is it just an accident of historical circumstance, perhaps? Good nutrition, the right (or wrong, depending on your perspective) economic environment and social conditions... there has to be some reasons why the US become the dominant nation in the sport.

It doesn’t matter the list USA dominates pretty much every list out there. If you’re not satisfied with the list you can always make your own and post it in the comment section. Personally I actually like the second list a little better. My point is the domination of USA. Of course. It was a mainstream sport in America the longest and the population is hugely higher than other countries. Latin countries only really got involved in the 40s, Japan later for example. Countries like Puerto Rico have tiny populations. Eastern European countries have barely been able to turn pro but as you’ll see currently the top 25 has not that many American fighters and I fear it’s going to continue and actually increase more which unfortunately will decrease interest in this country.

Personally I actually like the second list a little better. My point is the domination of USA. I'm certainly not disagreeing that the majority of elite professional fighters have historically hailed from the the US, but I'm curious what you make of that.

The UK can't compare with the USA or Russia for number of top fighters. On a good fighters for population number the UK does well as does Mexico but Russia and the USA have a much larger population of strong young men to get their best boxers from. I can agree with this assessment.

You post a pic of a semi nude lad looking like he just orgasmed Yep nothing queer about that at all lol https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-T_er5YkNUWc/XDPDSfQkIoI/AAAAAAAAAgY/lHPmYByrHRAJ4-QhYCXMbnZN8_5cYgaVQCLcBGAs/s1600/mad%2Bmemes.jpg :usa: https://i.ytimg.com/vi/lCjgF_7kCr4/hqdefault.jpg

Well yeah obviously! Americas rich boxing history will never be matched...EVER!

You idiots know that the list is all time great Fawk you guys are retarded How many of the current list will make the 25 P4P atg list? Maybe 1-2? I think the point is that if you have to resort to the past as a measure of greatness, then something's gone wrong. USA boxing is suffering currently, that is difficult to deny

You can. Make your own thread son. GUARANTEE USA still has the most fighters in the top 25 and top 50 lol. Definitely More than Uk. Luckily Nigerian Joshua moved to the UK.The UK can't compare with the USA or Russia for number of top fighters. On a good fighters for population number the UK does well as does Mexico but Russia and the USA have a much larger population of strong young men to get their best boxers from.

You idiots know that the list is all time great Fawk you guys are retarded How many of the current list will make the 25 P4P atg list? Maybe 1-2? If I’m counting correct USA still has the most in the top 25 lmao. So the joke is on them

America has produced a hell of alot of great fighters so im not surprised.

I can't agree with many of boxrec's placings. Mayweather, Oscar, Monzon, Ward, Fulmer and many others are way too high for me and Roy Jones, SRR and some others are too low. Mauweather number 19 might be OK but not number 1. Of course the USA is number 1. That is no surprise. Some of boxrec's choices I don't think belong in the top 50 and not in the top 25.
