          I know Africa is a poor place but a lot of world class boxers come from areas and gyms where funding, facilities and knowledge are lacking.
          They lose their best athletes soccer.

            I dont agree with all you whosay its the lack of programmes. Ive been in many gyms and the native Africans have always been the guys who couldnt really fight. They were built like ****. But talent wise were nothing.

              What are you on about?

              If the world's population is 7 billion you would divide it by 2 ( not 3) which would give you 3.5 billion ergo 2.3 billion is not even close to half of the world's population.
