I did a thread a little over a year ago after a rash of threads were bashing the US claiming them no longer a boxing powerhouse. And while there are many posts on this forum still doing the same thing the threads have abated That said I though it would be interesting to over the statistics and compare them to last year. All numbers come from the current Ring rankings. I realize it isn't perfect, but it will have to do unless someone wants to do their own list.
