There are only THREE First Rate Boxing Nations...

and you have a point when you put it that way, underground man...
Cuba is definitely up there...always a perennial powerhouse in the amateurs, but they've definitely fell off in the Pros the last two decades...
Not to mention the ones who never went Pro and could have been special...
They produce very talented boxers on the average though...I always make it a point to follow their top prospects and am very respectful of them and their Boxing history...Comment

You really are one, ungrateful, Owned b*stard...lol...did you not see my gracious post after The End came to pass?
You obviously didn't deserve that respect as you can't give me mine...
I predicted this massive, ultimate collapse 6 MONTHS AGO...while those of your ilk were riding high and doing your thing...overrating and picking your fighters over noticeably better fighters from other lands...
and if it was so easy to predict...why didn't YOU boldly and publicly predict the Demise, Dem Eyes?
Exactly.
I also predicted your ****ty '09...and before that, your ****ty '07...this is what I DO...this is what I have ALWAYS done.
There's a reason why I'm known as one of the GREATEST Prognosticators and THE SOLE Visionary in this game...
because it is all documented in the biggest and/or best forums....here, esb, fighthype, btalk, etc...
Now you know...
Sincerely,
SKULLSPLITTER - The CEO, your Owner.Comment

On one hand we have an awkward, tough brawler in Froch who as limited as he is did very well in the tournament. Ward's style was the perfect counter to Froch and he comfortably beat him.
I'm not going to pretend I knew how poor Khan was on the inside prior to the Peterson fight, but that is obviously a huge flaw that has been exposed. The points that were deducted really swayed the fight. I didn't think it would be Peterson that Khan came unstuck against, but I guess it's best that it happened now and not against someone like Bradley.
For a sport that holds such little relevance over here, I think it does exceptionally well. I'm still in shock Ricky Burns has held a world title.

5 countries. Get it right.
You need to ask yourself who are you arguing with. I have never in my life heard a british boxing fan claim Britain produces the best boxers or even close to it.Comment

Quoted for proof.
It was YOU who tried to have a go at me....I didn't have you in mind or single you out when I predicted The Doom of British Boxing...you obviously took it personally...
and I'm not "arguing" with you...I'm telling it as it IS.
As far as outrageous claims...Calzaghe fans?, Hatton fans?, Khan fans?, Haye fans?
lol...you gotta be ****tin' me...
and what are you trying to do?...claim France or some another country in The EU?
lol...go ahead....claim 'em all if you want...Originally posted by WikipediaCountries of the United Kingdom is a term used to describe England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales. These four countries together form the sovereign state of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, which is also described as a country.[1] The alternative terms, constituent countries and home nations, are also used, the latter mainly in sporting contexts.[2][3]
When it comes to Boxing talent...The Bay Area in California is currently > the entire CONTINENT of Europe...
Ward, Donaire, Guerrero.

Yeah...I suggest you let this get buried now...Comment

Holy **** that ass is delicious.....
Anyway, the best countries in boxing HISTORY are:
#1 - U.S.A
#2 - Mexico'
After that it gets tricky. You definitely have to put Puertorico up there because of their size and they have had 40 something champs.
Argentina deserves a lot of respect because they have had great fighters.
Cuba has been great in the amateurs but not so much in the pro's as you would expect. Of course it's because of Fidel and the communist system not allowing Cuban pro boxing to evolve.
Ghana in Africa has had great fighters.
Panama, Philippines, Japan, Thailand...all have had many champions and deserve respect as well.Comment
