Top Boxing Nation?

[Rockin']

A facilitie will not make a champion, a trainer will...........Rockin'

[moochi]

By Far MEXICO.............USA is nowhere near the top either.....although seeing it has all the money, and makes many champions, it might seem that USA is the best.

Let's not forget the Asian countries too....just because they are smaller fighters, doesn't mean they are not champs.

Cuba is the best country for amateure boxing since 1974 Cuba has won 29 gold medals the United States is second with 21. Thats the most detailed info I can find on Amateure boxing.

IF all the Cuban medalists went pro, they would probably be dominating the sport of pro boxing, they win medals at all weight classes.

But United States hands down is best for pro boxing.

yes in terms of amateur boxing cuba is by far the most domonent country, stevenson and savon in paticular spring to mind as great champions. but i'm not so sure they would all succeed as pro's, remember a lot of these guys are just fighting ''kids'' guys that are 18, 19, 20, so to say they would probably dominate is a gross overstatement on that basis.

I second that...

Mexico has had LOTS of fighters

I would vote Mexico for the most # of boxers but how many GREAT?

Julio Cesar Chavez, Ricardo Lopez, Salvador Sanchez, Morales, Barrera, Zarate, Pintor, Olivares,etc.

USA had WAY more champions than them...

I can name 50 in half a second...

Look in the hall of fame book, there is way more USA fighters in it...

Mexico has had some really good fighters

but Robinson, Hagler, Louis, Ali, Frazier, Hearns, Leonard, Dempsey, Marciano, Tyson, Aaron Pryor, Hopkins, Willie Pep, Pernell Whitaker, Oscar De La Hoya, etc. all came from the USA...

Of all time i probably the U.S. they have a much longer history in Boxing. Mexico was still busy finding its self image with wars, and politics till about the 1940's. Boxing started in Mexico probably 2-3 decades after that.

Right now though i would say its Mexico with the biggest Momemtum. They are winning big and giving people what they want.

[Martin (Top Knowledge)]

To be honest with you... The best fighters in the World are the Mexicans.

That P4P **** is rubbish.... If you compare the level of opposition over the last 20 fights between Hopkins and Morlaes, it tells the proper story.

[Journeyman]

if it wasnt for politics, Cuba would be #1, USA #2, Mexico #3

[Tha Greatest]

USA produces better champions

but Mexico have some really good champions to
