Best Boxing Country

[JOM'S]

Hey, im not only talking about the olympics, im talking about the overale view,cuba and couple og asian countries did a lot better than they useally do in greek.
But theres a lot more amature bouts than the ol, and thats were my list is from the overall.

is that true, cuz you mentioned Ukrain after Russia, Ukrain also fights in the ASIAN GAMES but the THAIS are the ASIAN Champs in Boxing, so how you see the Thai fighters now...

It's ridiculous to think the USA isn't the best when it comes to boxing.
I don't give a crap of population vs. successful fighters ratio.

The fact is.....the USA produces the most successful fighters.....is where the biggest fights take place.

Eliminate the USA from boxing & it's a dead sport, period.
This is where it matters.

There's no question about that the US is the best boxing country, followed by other boxing powers like Mexico and Puerto Rico...

but for most Asian Fans even if you take US away from the equation, boxing will never be dead it will always be thriving & surviving, a very good example is Thailand.....

But US is where the MONEY is, that's why I hope that a lot for Asian Fighters can get noticed in the US so that people there may give the East a second look for good to great fighters, like the Philippines very own Pac Man...

Former SU fighters will definitely take their place in pros. They have a great amateur school and remembering last olympics they havn't lost it. And this amateur schol is a good base to develop pro school. I suppose that in few years we may paraphrase famous Ali's expression: "Boxing is a lot of white men watching two black men beat each other up."
It wiil sound like: "Boxing is a lot of americans watching on PPV russian and thai beat each other up."

**** the quantity, look at the quality. Name a Puerto Rican (bear in mind p4p) than can match the talent of Ali, RJJ, B-Hop, Pernell Whitaker (prime) to name a selected few.

the only one i recognize as being a great in that kist is ali.

Plenty of good fighters have come from Asian countries. The obstacle has always been getting them exposure over here.

The best boxing country IS the United States. Make a list of the best fighters ever and just about ALL of them will be from the United States.

Boxing may have been invented in Europe, but it was perfected in the United States.

In terms of boxers produced compared to size, I think the top countries are Mexico and Puerto Rico.

I also think Cuba deserves a mention when you look at all the superb amateurs they have produced. Just a pity more didn't turn pro.

What do you mean boxers produced compared to size?

LukahnLi, your right Asian Fighters need exposure in the US but its very difficult to do so...

good example was Manny, no promoters was willing to take PacMan before Ledwaba and only Murad took a gamble on him...

i just hope the somewhere down the road US will look eastward and recruit for additional talent...
