P4P: The best boxing country

[LDJB81]

I'd largely agree with you if you weren't ignorant of the talents of Calzaghe, Winstone, Colin Jones (one of my all-time favourite fighters) and the tragic Johnny Owen.

Robbie Regan FFS. Who was that drawf he kept on fighting? Ampofo? Good scrapper I concede, but WTF?! And did he really win a world title? WBF or something I would guess. Anyway, world class he weren't and borderline British class. Same goes for Gavin Rees and Steve Robinson for most of his career. Barry Jones didn't win a world title although he did get rather demolished by Freitas when he tried.

Still, in fairness, they've punched above their weight, and in Wilde and Calzaghe have two of the ATG's. Wilde you could easily put in the top 5 P4P of all time.

I agree Calzaghe, Winstone, Jones and Owen are/were all class acts. That juliocesachavez guy is a clown.

What about Freddie Welsh who was lightweight champion from 1914 to 1917 and avoided like the the plague by world champions for years before that? or Jim Driscoll who beat the **** out of the featherweight world champion abe attell in a non title fight but never got chance to actually fight him for the title. both of these guys are legends and are top 100 p4p of all time (according to Bert Sugar). we certainly have punched way above our weight and in the early 20th century we had 3 of the best boxers in the world in wilde, welsh and driscoll. Ive got some documentaries on all of these guys which i'll try and an upload in to the trading block when I get time.

Puerto Rico (per capita), if you live here you would know why. Is like everyone has been related to boxing in some way. The U.S. has produced the best fighters but relying on our size and population we are a top 3 if not the #1.

WRONG!!!

America went to PR fired one bullet and the island surrendered

are you ****ing kidding me?

[mellow_mood]

What country, taking size into consideration produces the most good/great fighters?

I say Puerto Rico.

Usa Usa Usa!

duh... any question.. no one has the calibur of fighters on their list as America.

[mellow_mood]

They can, but they don't want to. They're more than happy with our colonial status.
