    Which country has produced better boxers Panama or Phillipines?

    There are five major boxer producing countries..US,Mexico,Britain,Panama and The Phillipines

    Both countries have rich boxing cultures...Panama has produced Duran,laguna,al brown..while phillipines has been the country of Pacquiao and flash elorde

    3 of the last year's top 10 p4p are from these two countries..

    Panama has a richer boxing history by far and has produced the greater champions! And it's even worse if you take into account that Panama has a population of around 3million while the population of the Phillipines is something like 100 million

      Are you including Puerto Rico as USA because they have a phenomenal P4P record in boxing.

      Also, I would say that Argentina surpass Panama & the Philippines (which is not detracting from either country). Germany also have a rich history in the boxing game, as does Italy.

      You could also argue that South Africa has a pedigree equal to the two of them. And Japan too. Maybe even Australia if you go back as far as Young Griffo.

        I agree that Panama has a deeper & richer boxing history than Philippines but boxing is not (until Pacquiao) a major sport out there (try Basketball & **** Fighting) plus their huge population is spread over 7,000 islands, with many cultures amongst them.

        Panama is a relatively small country with the population condensed mainly into a couple of major urban areas with plenty of gyms. It's only natural they'll have produced more top fighters just like circumstances have given Norway & Switzerland more skiing champs than Mexico or Australia.
