[The_Demon]

Nobody really dominates anymore,over the last few years their has been a spread of talent with a lot of different countries with champions,its a good thing imo

[El_Travieso_805]

México will always have the best warriors!

[colly10]

Britain, we've already started the take over.

With who? Froch is not the best super middle, Ward and Bute are better.
Haye is not the best heavyweight, the K's are better.
Khan might be the best Light Welter, we'll have to wait and see.

Who else is there, Matthew Hatton?

Per capita, one might have to go with Puerto Rico. There are nearly four million Puerto Ricans on the island and four million in the mainland United States. (P.R. is a U.S. territory, a commonwealth, not an independent country. But, let's face it, most people tend to view it as a country. For the sake of this discussion, I think it's appropriate.) So many past and present champions from such a small population is impressive.

Panama might rival P.R. for the crown, though. There are only a little over three million people in Panama and only about 120,000 live in the U.S. That's less than half the number of Puerto Ricans living in the United states and their native land.

Although Mexico produces great and legendary fighters, the population of that country is over 108 million, second only to Brazil as the most populous Latin American country. There are more Mexicans -- not even counting those in the U.S. -- than Puerto Rico, Panama, Colombia (#3), Argentina (#4) and Cuba, combined. On a per capita basis, Mexico can't even be mentioned in the argument.

Cuba has produced some great professional fighters in the past, but has been limited to mainly amateur greatness since 1959, when Castro took power. If we're talking about amateur boxing success (per capita), there's no contest, Cuba is the juggernaut. As for their professional success? Cubans have only recently started to make themselves known again in the pro ranks, with all the defections of the past few years, so the jury is still out....

Over in Europe:

There are about 51 million people in England, almost 60 million Italians, 82 million Germans, 46 million Ukrainians and 142 million Russians, just to name a few of the better known boxing countries. It's probably safe to say that none of these lands can make a good argument for "Per Capita Champion of Boxing."

Ireland has a relatively small population -- a little over 4 million people. They might be a contender, along with P.R. and Panama. But it's tough to gauge the influence of Irish-ancestry boxers living in the United States, since the Irish have been immigrating to the U.S. for hundreds of years.

For the sake of making this long post a little shorter, I'll pick one obvious representative for Asia....

The Philippines has a population of over 92 million people, claiming more than forty current and former world champion boxers. That's a nice showing. But does it sound like a great per capita ratio?

Historically, the United States can certainly claim the highest number of great boxers. But, per capita, that's probably not the case, with a population exceeding 310 million(!) people.

LOL you huele pinga I know the whole PR is not a country song. The one hating is you. Hating on the fact that a small island like PR has generated super stars other than in boxing. What has you precious mexico contributed other than migrating without permission, raping your own daughters and being human punching bags.
