America is still producing more top fighters than any country in the world. Yes, they are losing their dominance but they still produce more talent than any other country in the world.
    tbh this a little troll thread and should be deleted, but Americans show no respect to the great fighters other countries produce.

    many people say go to Germany and you will get robbed and thats not true, many fighters from outside won clean UDs in big fights.

    America still is ignorant and is p4p the nr 1 robbery country.

      There seems like a lot more robberies in the states as of late but I wouldn't rate America the worst. You have to take in the fact that 90% of the fights people really care about happen on American soil. Germany holds some big fights but no where to the amount as America. I'd say a visitor has a better chance of not getting screwed in America than he does in Germany. America is no saint though and seems to be getting pretty bad with the robberies.

        those guys are more american than mexican theyve never been to mexico
        they dont speak good spanish and when introduced its usually oxnard or gilroy CA
        david diaz chicago
        juan diaz texas
        dont get me wrong i like those guys but real mexicans usually have to work twice as hard to get to championship lvl,

              of course they are.

              and that's why boxing doesn't get that much media coverage, the american media sees their boxers aren't dominating so they don't put it.

                well, what do you mean by "the USA"? cause the USA has a bunch of fighters from a different ethnicities.

                however, the USA isn't as dominant as it used to be.

                  How many other countries have as many elite fighters as the U.S? Shure the USA might not be as dominating anymore but they are still the best at boxing.

                  Floyd Mayweather Jr
                  Bernard Hopkins
                  Andre Ward
                  Chad Dawson
                  Tavoris Cloud
                  Shane Mosley
                  Andre Berto
                  Devon Alexander
                  Timothy Bradley
                  Andre Direll
                  Victor Ortiz
                  Steve Cunningham
                  Robert Guerrero
                  Brandon Rios

                  All of these fighters have titles or are former titleists or elite at their weightclass. If a guy like Robert Guererro was from the UK or Germany for example, he would be a star over there. Again, how many other countries have as many elite fighters? Name one.
