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.....
