Yeah American HW boxing is FILLED with talent, so much talent these guys dominate it hahaha.
Weight lifting, Hockey, Kickboxing, MMA etc?
America has ALL those except Rugby, we do have Football, Soccer, Basketball, Swimming, track and field, tennis, golf, ALL these sports are available to play in school too!
Let me school your dumb ass on how America works.
Nearly EVERY SINGLE child in America that attends school is exposed to sports unless they don't have it. What AGE do you think the majority of people start boxing? It's usually around 12 years old. It's pretty hard to get a 12 year old into boxing with so many other sports around them.
Children here are presented options to play soccer, baseball, flag football, and basketball from the ages of 4-13, these are OUT OF SCHOOL activities by the way. Once they reach Middle school (It's Elementary from ages 4-11) that's when they're able to join a Basketball team their school has, a baseball team, a track team, a football team which has up to like 40 players on a single team, basketball it's usually 16 on a team, soccer I think 17 is the max.
Those football, basketball, soccer, and baseball teams are then split up even more. You see there isn't just ONE team there are many. There are A and B teams, meaning they put the best players on the A team and then the worst players on B team. And yes the B team plays other B teams from other schools while the A team plays other A teams from other schools.
The same thing happens in high school (ages 14-19), except it's divided even more! Instead of having just the A and B team, you've got the Freshman team (1st year) which is then split into the A/B team, after that you've got the Junior Varsity team and after that you've got the Varsity which is the best. This goes for all sports.
Not only do we have those sports in school, we have them out of school!
My brother is only 15 but he's 6'5, he tried boxing but didn't like it, he said basketball was more fun. So he wound up playing basketball full time after he stopped playing football. He is currently on summer vacation for 2 months, but guess what? He's still playing basketball! Yup, we have summer basketball/baseball/etc. leagues here in America, leagues that children, teens and even adults can participate in.
You can walk wherever and you'll find a basketball court to play on, an open grass field to play football or soccer.
Boxing isn't popular in America, the majority of fans only tune in to the big name fights. Out my school of over 2,000 people I never met another boxing fan, out of all the people that went to the school there are a total of 3 boxers there. You have to go out and WANT to box, nobody is going to ask you if you want to. Then you have to pay for it, get approval from your parents etc.
Now go ahead and explain to me how those countries are stealing away your would be boxers like they are ours lmao.
Like I said we're SURROUNDED by sports, there isn't another country like us when it comes to sports so don't even try to compare those countries to us.
