Boxers vs population with a larger population dominating all weight classes falls down due to the following factors:
1) Boxing may not be the number 1 combat sport in a country e.g. India, China
2) Racial types, the percentile of Indians and Chinese that could make Middleweight and above are very small (yes there is a NBA player from China, but so there should be with a population of 1 Billion)
3) Its not so much the size of a country as its racial mix, so USA and UK, with mixed populations are more likely to have a number of potential atheletes at diffferent weight classes
4) Certain Smaller countries will always challenge certain weight classes, e.g The Latin American countries seem to churn out hundreds of great fighters, it seems to be in the blood, so even if your country has some good guys from featherweight to weltereight, they are always going to have a Latin American fighter breathing down their neck.

It would be interesting to see a World Champion per 100000 of population index, someone must have done that research surely????

actually, boxing is a bigger and more mainstream sport from what I hear through out the U.K. so land mass is really no excuse.

Look at Puerto Rico
It's a very small island, yet they manage to pull a lot of great champs.

Of course, yes, the United States will always have more champs because of it's size.. but if size only was the case, China and Japan or India would be dominating boxing.

It all depends on the interest of the sport in the country.

it aint a mainstream sport. it's banned in a few places infact.

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz zzzzzz

Look were doing ok, a lot of world champions. We just love boxing man why does it have to be a competition all the time?

I will hold my hands up and say Yanks are generally and historically better at boxing but really who gives a ****?

I'll watch an Arab fight a Swede if they're great fighters
