        What do you guys reckon as a reason?

        Manny Pacquiao is a top notch fighter.

        Amir Khan will be one day

          India won their first boxing medal in the last olympics, and had like 4 fighters competing I think. China also did well but both countries have only just started consistently producing world level amateurs, I predict in the next 10 years that this will translate into success in professional boxing. They need to attract some good experienced coaches from the western world, if there producing amateur fighters then obviously some infastructure is already there.

                  Relative to its population, India has to be the worst sporting nation.

                    LMAO. Was going to quote him but you arleady did a good job.

                    Hey, if Yao Ming was a 7'6 HW and not a basketball player, you'd have every kid in China putting on gloves.

                      Or maybe China's too busy making all products from electronics to everything comin' out of their docks onto the globe.
