    Missed that. I stand corrected. Add another boxer of Yemeni descent to the roster of professional boxing champions.

      If those amateurs were so great that they could just step into the pro world and beat all the elite fighters with no pro experience, they should have completely dominated the much less competitive amateur competitions. Not just win some medals but obliterate them. Which of course, doesn't happen, Uzbekistan actually won more medals than them.

      Hrgović knocked out a lot of Cubans in the amateurs so how the hell would the Cubans take over the HW division for example?
      You do realize Erislandy Savon who is a cruiserweight beat Anthony Joshua in the Olympcs only to be robbed. It was a whitewash actually and Anthony Joshua is the heavyweight champ.

      You are so narrow minded, it's impossible to argue with you.

      Cuba as of right now probably has the most champs per Country in the pro game or if not, it's top 3 and only like 5% of their fighters have left the island.

        I hate it when people make excuses like little girls.
        When it's very clear some races/nations just cannot fight at all.

        Joe Calzaghe trained out of a ****ing shed in a rural Welsh village for the majority of his pro career. He didn't have any top facilities or resources.

        Ukraine is a very,very poor country full of poverty and of just 45 million people. And they constantly produce world class talent all the time.

          India, Pakistan, ****ladesh are just hopeless at sport.South Asians are avery unathletic race, with extremely low standards.

          Cricket ( not exactly athletic sport lol)is the only sport they have any success in whatsoever and its their national sport. But still countries of very tiny populations in comparison -Austrailia and South Africa usually kick their ass at cricket!(and cricket is only like the eir5th most popular sport)

              Yeah, but Calzaghe is from Great Britain, with a boxing culture to draw from and access to professional boxing circles. “Poor” has a different definition in the West than it does in other parts of the world. If Joe was some African kid living in a hut and eating dirt, I’d be a lot more impressed with his rise. As I said before, blacks are clearly represented disproportionately in pro boxing, but nearly all of them come from western nations. Why is that? They all share the same DNA. The difference is they don’t all have access to the same things.

                  The country is corrupt as hell and a lot of people drink booze and smoke, they had a war too recently.

                  It has to be race/DNA to some extent.
                  Yeah exactly Croatia are a brillliant sporting nation for their size. Croatia are the complete opposite of India.

                    The best white fighters usually ****ing come from poverty. Ukraine has a lower GDP than some African countries. Russia,Ukraine, Bulgaria, Kazakhstan etc all poor as ****. & Most of the best UK fighters are from poor working class council estates of cities like Manchester, Salford, Liverpool,Belfast.. or ****ty traveller caravan sites. They aren't from Oxford or Cambridge!

                    Being from poverty drives them..makes them tougher, more motivated.

                    Race/DNA and having low standards are the main two reasons.Vijender Singh is one of the biggest names and celebrities In India .a country of BILLIONS. just for winning a poxy Bronze medal. He looks like the terrible stereotype useless South asian boxer but they see him as a legend lol! Whereas Paddy Barnes of Ireland - just 5 millon people.. threw his bronze medal on the floor and said ''Bronze is for losers''

                      Actually, I’ve been corrected. There have been three male pro champion boxers of Yemeni descent. (Females are indeed relevant, if we’re talking about culture/race, etc.) The point is that they were all born and raised in Britain, where I’m sure they’re a tiny minority. By your logic, Yemeni people “can’t fight” or are “hopeless at sport.” These three are evidence that what I’m positing is accurate, and that you’re wrong. They had access to a boxing culture, opportunity and resources they wouldn’t have in their native land. And I’d be willing to bet anything that they will give rise to more champion athletes of Yemeni descent as kids like them look up to them for inspiration.
