Top 10 fighters for each country

[New England]

They just hate America because they are good at EVERYTHING.

Remember when Mexican boxing was considered dead a few years ago?

hahahaha

this is definitely what it is.

people hate those that do better than themselves. i've never understood the phenomenon, but that's probably because i'm american.


you respect the accomplishments of others. you respect them. you don't disrespect accomplishments. that's absurd. that's the mentality of those who aren't accomplished.

Problem with the ring is that it's been a very biased organisation for a long time.

But USA will always be the premier country for boxing due to the money it spends on sport and population it has with access to sport, if it wasn't then there would be some serious questions.

I might do some calculations with the amount of people per ring top ten entrant in the country.

i always get a kick out of this phenomenon.


let me find a sillier set of statistics that doesn't demonstrate that america is the best in the world.


"per capita" olympic medals, perhaps.


the best olympic nation of all time isn't america! goodness no. it's trinidad and tobago. per capita greatness.

The numbers going by boxrec are even more skewered for the United States. I stopped at bantamweight but the numbers were.....

US - 39
Mex - 11
Ukrain - 3
Spain - 1
UK - 13
Germany - 7
Bulgaria - 1
Poland - 3
Russia - 6
Finland - 1
Cuba - 4
Canada - 5
Panama - 2
SA - 5
Australia - 6
Denmark - 1
Spain - 1
Puerto Rico - 1
Philippines - 2
Argentina - 2
Japan - 5
Italy - 1
Thailand - 1
Indonesia - 1

Well for 1 thing including P4P is gonna count some boxers twice. Also do the Ring allow fighters (eg FMJ) to be top 10 in more than one division. This is most prevalent at the 140-154 weights best represented by the US/Mexico - again meaning some boxers being counted 2 or 3 times.

Finally, Kazakhstan has two world champs, Golovkin and Shumenov, yet is unrepresented in the list. This seems unreasonable.

I'd say TBRB would be the one to use. And not the P4P as well as the divisional top 10s.

Holing an ABC title does not guarantee a top 10 spot accept by that org.

Please explain when I said America wasn't the best boxing country? Simple reasoning is because you have money to spend on boxing and a larger population to choose from.

If you had 10 boxing champions from USA and 10 from Cuba for instance it'd be ridiculous to say that Cuba wasn't better on average.

Its been 2 year horrifying trend for P.R boxing. I just don't understand what's going on. I have to be patience. A new breed has to come up, Because the current one sucks.

I had high hope for Jaun Ma a few years back. PR will be back though, they have a great fighting tradition.
