For good reasons, many knock boxrec's ratings. But, many more often call alphabet ratings, "ludicrous".
So, for want of any more reliable ratings, allow me to use boxrec's numbers with regard the issue of Philippines vs. Thailand:
(boxrec's top ten fighters in each weight division)
Minimum weight:
Philippines: 2 (Florante Condes- #1, Donnie Nietes- #6)
Thailand : 2 ( Sithsamerchai- #3, and, Eagle Den Junlaphan, formerly, Eagle Kyowa, a Japan-based Thai Fighter- #5)
Denver Cuello and Milan Melindo of the Philippines are within the top 20, occupying the 11th and 17th positions, respectively. Only ****sawan Kratingdaenggym joins them from Thailand.
Light Flyweights:
Philippines: 1 (Along Dinoy- #8.)
Thailand: 0
The highest rated Thai, Kaichon Sor Vorapin is at # 14. Two Filipinos just missed getting into the magic ten circle and are rated higher than the highest rated Thai: Juanito Rubillar- #12, and Brian Villoria- #13.
Flyweights:
Philippines: 1 (Nonito Donaire- #1)
Thailand: 4 (Pongsaklek Wongjongkam- #5, Denkaosan Kaovichit- #6, Ponoomronglek Kratingdaengym- #8 and Wandee Singwancha- #10)
No other Thai is rated in the top 20 while two Filipinos are there: Richie Mepranum-#18 and Rocky Fuentes- # 19.
SuperFlyweights:
Philippines: 2 (Z Gorres- #6, AJ Banal- #8)
Thailand: 1 (Prangmuansak Posowan- #10)
Eden Sonsona (#13) and Danilo Pena (#18) of the Philippines are in the top 20, while Duangpetch Saengmokarot (#14) is the lone Thai in the circle.
Bantamweights:
Philippines: 2 (Gerry Penalosa- # 3, and Rolly Matsu****a- #8)
Thailand: 0
One other Filipino is in the top 20: Diosdado Gabi. The highest rated Thai, Verapol Sahaprom, occupies #20.
SuperBantams:
Philippines: 0
Thailand: 1 (Somsat Sichawal- #7)
Four other Thais are in the top 20 (Wethya Sangmuangklang- #11, Napapol Kiatisakchokchai-#12, Poonsawat Kratingdaenggym-#13, and Ratanachai Sor Vorapin-#17).
The two entries of the Philippines in the top 20 are Bernabe Concepcion who is rated 14th and Rey Bautista, 16th.

Terdsak Jandaeng of Thailand is at 22nd. No Filipino is rated.
SuperFeatherweights:

No other Filipino is rated in the top 20, and no Thai occupies any of the top twenty slots.
The next highest rated Filipino is Jimrex Jaca who is at # 21. The highest rated Thai is Thong Por Sokchai who is rated 15 slots behind Jaca at #36.

Thailand does not enter the count until the 53rd slot which is taken by Prawet Singwangcha.
SuperLights:

Thailand- 0
The highest rated Thai is Yodsanan Nanthaichai who occupies #24. His compatriot Siringmongkol Singwangcha is at #58.
There is no Filipino SuperLightweight rated by BoxRec.
Welterweights:
Philippines- 0
Thailand- 0
The highest rated Filipino is Rev Santillan who is at #17. The next highest is Arniel Tinampay who is at #91.
There is no Thai in BoxRec's top 100.
There are neither Filipino nor Thai fighters rated by BoxRec in the top 100 of the LightMiddle, Middle, SuperMiddle, LightHeavy, Cruiser and Heavyweight classes.
TALLY:
TOP TEN:
Philippines: 10
Thailand: 9
11TH TO 20TH:
Philippines: 11
Thailand: 8
CURRENT ALPHABET CHAMPIONS (WBC, WBA, IBF and WBO only):
Philippines: 4 (Penalosa, Donaire, Nietes and Condes)
Thailand: 1 (Oleydong Sithchamerchai who took the WBC Minimumweight title from Japan-based fellow-Thai, Eagle Den Junlaphan, November of last year).
Three Filipinos are rated by boxrec as Number 1 in their respective division (Pacquiaio, Donaire and Condes). No Thai rates that high in any division. The highest rated Thai fighter is Minimumweight champ Sithchamerchai, who sits at # 3 in his division. That's also the rating of Filipino WBO champ Gerry Penalosa in the Bantamweight division.
There are two Filipinos in the International Boxing Hall of Fame (Pancho Villa and Flash Elorde); there is only one Thai (Khaosai Galaxy).
As for the thread starter: Mexico is miles ahead of the Philippines. But, only in general terms.Last edited by grayfist; 01-13-2008, 09:23 PM.Comment

Pacman is dominating some Mexican fighters but other than that Mexicans have more champions in history over all.Comment
