1. U.S.A. (over 400 champions)

2. MEXICO (over 100) champions)

3. PUERTO RICO (over 60 champions)


Although you need to take into account that in the numbers for the USA they count all the Mexican American champions for the USA as well as the US born Puerto Ricans like John Ruiz and others.

But those are the top 3 as far as boxing history and champions produced.

Where did you get those figures from? And I doubt there have been less than 60 British world title holders in the entire history of the sport.

[Dave Rado]

too bad you all suck at it.

Considering the size of its population, Britain does very well.

Rich history, England, USA, MEXIC & puerto Rico. But with out a doubt MEXICO is number 1!!!

On what basis does Mexico have a richer boxing history than the US? Or are you just cheerleading for your country?

The U.S without a doubt. lots of other countries have produced iconic champions in their time, but none as a whole can compare....

Eskrima is the ****.

[fabie]

Eskrima is the ****.

Amen bro..and I practice it. It is blade boxing and knives/swords/sticks. But it is actually boxing.

[Chups]

The question is history not how many Champs.

The top 2 is USA and Britain. Followed by the Irish, Italians etc....


The Mexicans did not make a dent in boxing until the 1940's/50's.




Keeping it real.

[NChristo]

Greece and Britain, since the Greeks first made boxing a competition and Britain created the modern day rules.

**** yeah !, Greece finally getting some recognition, bout time.

We produced one of the greatest in Hercules yet he gets 0 cred these days.
