Ok, we're talking about a few fighters here. Do LSC and Canelo mean Mexicans are "taking over" boxing?Comment

I would love to see more pro boxers from Uzbekistan,Kazakhstan and Azerbaijan.K2 promotions can promote them well.Btw why Medzhidov did not participate World Championship?I would love to see him as a Pro as wellYeah they are. Conlan just won World's. O'Reilly bronze medal and Joe Ward will compete in the finals tomorrow.
Their Youth look promising as well.
Cuba, Russia, Kazakhstan, Ireland, Ukraine, Uzbekistan are the leading nations currently in my opinion. (In no particular order)

Somebody has to target those markets. Uzbekistan is full of power punchers with technique. So hopefully we start seeing more fighters from these countries turn pro. We'll have even more different types of styles in professional boxing, which is only going to help not hurt.
Medzhidov had an eye injury if I'm not mistaken. He would have been a good pro. I doubt we ever see him in professional boxing unfortunately.Comment

yea but those "inbred" Brits on a tiny island had the biggest empire ever. maybe being a nation of mongrels aint such a good idea. go to Columbia and you will seeif by taking over boxing you mean "coming to america for training, sparring, bigger purses, etc.
america doesn;t really have a nationality. we're a nation of immigrants. most born in the US have only been here for a few generations at most. importing talent is what we've always done.
you don't get that "tiny little island" phenomenon, like the brits, who were inbred for several thousand years
