    No wonder ya'll watch MMA.
    (and the Brazilians are taking that **** over too)


    Cruiserweight- Steve Cunningham is the consensus #1 with Adamek gone. Also Matt Godfrey and BJ Flores are amongst the top-10. No other country has more than 1 fighter ranked in the top 10 aside from the US.

    Light Heavyweight- Hopkins, Dawson, Cloud..... top 3 right there... all Americans. On top of that Jones Jr and Tarver are better than Pascal or Henry... Any way you cut it Americans make up 5 of the best 8 LHW in the world today.

    Super Middle- Though Kessler and AA are the best fighters between Dirrell, Ward, Taylor and Green Americans arguably make up 40% of the top 10, the only other country with more than 1 top 10 fighter might be Germany with Abraham and Stieglitz.

    MIddlweight- Pavlik, Williams.... clearly the cream of the crop, the only other nation with 2 fighters in the top 10 at middlweight is Australia with Geale and Mundine and they are weak compared with the Americans.

    Light Middle- Williams, Spinks, Kirkland, Phillips, Lattimore make up half of the top 10 at this weight, no other country represented more than twice.

    Welterweight- Mayweather, Mosley, Berto make up 3 of the top 6 welterweights in the world..... once again no other country appears more than once.....

              Also like to add Robert Guerrero is arguably the man at super featherweight. Brian Villora at flyweight. The Americans have champions or top 5 fighters in pretty much every division.
