Those are my picks.

South Korea beats out Japan in terms of per capita champions. Not to mention the fact that South Korea was a country for only like 60 years.

For that/ you gotta be ****ing kidding me? I guess you've never heard of a paper champ or overprotected bumboy fraud like the ****licker who tops the list. You mentioned a whole bunch of ****suckers but left out you're only genuine world class fighters in Jimmy Wilde and Tommy Farr. Post war you have only produced clowns.

Cleverly as potential world champ? Only if he wins the ****ty WBO and then avoids every world class opponent until they take out their pensions lol. Not only do you not deserve a mention, you deserve a Let me guess, you actually believed Setanta when they dubbed the RJJ fight as one that will seal his 'legacy'. Too right, his legacy of struggling V bums like Reid was completed with a KD V a severely washed up former great.

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

I say Puerto Rico.

Ever? if it's ever then the US is the best at producing great fighters. Louis, Ali, Leonard, Robinson, Hopkins, etc. the list goes on. The worlds largest country has produced great amateurs but this country produces the best pros.

[lparm]

Commonwealth yes, but we are not a state of the U.S, we're a colony.

And the only reason we are born with american citizenship is because we went to war with americans.

WRONG!!!

America went to PR fired one bullet and the island surrendered

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.
