The Big 4 boxing countries

U.S. have been spoiled by the likes of Ali, Tyson, Leonard, Hagler, etc. There just hasn't been any comparable fighters to them. It is not to say the U.S. has lost any quality just excitement. Mayweather is a great fighter just that he does not bring the adrenaline that the past fighters have brought. Either he is just really a boring fighter or he has been too good for his competition and hasn't met the fighter who will define him. If Mayweather beats Manny Pac, you will see American boxing back in the spotlight. Won't happen though.hehehe.Comment

I beg to differ. USA is just in a slump. Big names and greats like Mosely, Hopkins, Mayweather can still make headlines and history. The future crop of Pavlik, Berto, Ortiz, Ward, too many to mention. USA is still the deepest in talent and won't go down as the best boxing country anytime soon.Comment

I know for fact that Filipinos love boxing as long as I can remember when I used live there they used to have a boxing channel, new matches every week. Boxing is like the 2nd favorite sport over there 1st is Basketball.Comment
