Best Boxing Country

[DR. FREECLOUD]

the only thing that the u.s. is better at as far as boxing goes is protecting thier champions from the rest of the worlds finest. and we do this because we have the $$ to do so. the u.s. has perfected boxing? no the u.s. has invested in boxing to make it a corrupt sport. i hate to say it my fellow americans but if from this second on boxing stopped in the u.s. it would live on everywhere else and would probably benefit from it. yes we do churn out some great champs. and yes we have produced some of the greatest. everyone has an arguement about who they feel has the best boxing country but really have no clue about any other country because they have never lived there to see what thier fighters have to go through just to be recognized by the rest of the world. i'm not saying that american fighters don't shed blood sweat and tears but the bottom line here is money. and the u.s. is great at promoting itself as the world leader in boxing. why do you think the best from around the world move to the u.s.? it ain't to fight the best. its to make the money.

Boxing was perfected back in the early 1900s before it was as corrupt as it is now. The first BOXER was Jim Corbett an American. Later came Jack Johnson another American. The best fighter/boxer EVER was Sugar Ray Robinson another American.

Money or no, corruption or no, boxing became an art because of American fighters.

Have you paid any attention to Germany ?
They produce a bunch of boring-ass, overly protected nobodies....who refuse to leave the comfy confines of home....because of money....& corrupt judges.

If you take a look at the history of boxing and think about it, it's plain to see that the USA has produced virtually all of the best fighters in the upper weight divisions and Mexico has produced many of the best fighters in the lower weights. I'd say Mexico is the place to be for a boxing fan; it's still a tremendously popular sport down there and only the best make it to the top. Then they come up here and fight for the big bucks.

Puerto Rico? Good fighters, but alas:
Hopkins squashed Trinidad.
Chavez dissected Camacho.
Sanchez mopped the ring with Gomez.
The best Puerto Rican fighter was probably Carlos Ortiz. I can't think of many other Puerto Rican legends.

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...

To be honest i know little about thai fighters.

Much wisdom here, us control boxing so americans have a lot easier way making it in the pro ranks.

The dont control amature and there they arent much.

Would you bet on that?

I'll bet my scrotum on that...
That's how positive I am that Tito will not only lose, but he'll be outta there quicker than he was last time.
