    China and India have 1.5B and 1.2B populations respectively...

    Yet they can't/haven't produce top-notch world class boxers?

    What do you guys reckon as a reason?

    This has been done before. Boxing is not a relevant sport in those countries.

        Did your answer have something to do with Manny Pacquiao and Amir Khan?

            USA has a population of 300 million, why havent they produced a good cricket team??

            "because cricket is ****"

            right, they feel the same way about boxing.

            Okay?

              Racist.... jk!

              I think it's just because Boxing isn't a big sport over there! I bet there could be a few great fighters hiding in that population!!!

                  The sport is not in their culture, just imagine if it was. China does have an amateur program that is lately taken very seriously

                    To be honest they aim to be smart when you look at the sort of average joe.

                    Both are highly educated in England anyway.

                    The other issue is that they love cricket in India.

                    In China I think they are all rounders, I mean look at the Olympic team.
