            Prospects are falling one by one... hopefully they will bounce back...

            Allot of young prospects, maybe in 3 years this country will be a contender...

                Ghana is known for "tough" fighters

                But alot of them seem to lack desire and belief

                (Quartey giving away the last rd vs DLH, Clottey not even trying to beat Pacquiao and just trying not to get knocked out)

                    Argentina is known for "warriors"

                    Jorge Castro, Sergio Martinez (not exactly a "warrior" but always lets his hands go and makes exciting fights), Marcos Rene Maidana
