Lee Haskins was one of the world champs when the UK had 15.
That should tell you all you need to know.

It was an inflated number, probably still is. The UK market is rapidly gaining ground on the North American in terms of revenue, which attracts attention from the world sanctioning bodies who want their slice of the pie, but our talent pool is still significantly smaller. However I do think we're getting better. And I'm happier when British world title holders take tough challenges and lose than I am when they cling onto the title for years by facing bum after bum

If we take that you mean GB, the population is ~66 million.

The population for Mexico and the United States is ~445 million.
So per capita the British are much better off.

Really?

AJ is king at heavyweight.

Groves is likely the best upset middle and his closest competitors are brits also lol

BJS is the best middleweight outside of GGG and possibly Canelo.

Oh look.. another thread where someone from a country that has a populace 5x time the size gloats that they have 2x the world champions..

It doesn't matter where youre from.. half the champs are undeserving when you truly look into their records or analyse who they could face or would lose to if they did face..

Champs are where the money is.. not necessarily where who the best are. The UK when we had the same amount of champs not too long ago probably had 2 thirds that would have got smashed if they faced the best in their division ... The same goes for half of the boxers from the states.

Americans like you make me laugh it's bittersweet to hear you talk like that.Everyone knows around the globe Americans have a intellectual Problem which is impossible to cure.They dont teach you that the UK is the size of Texas or equivalent to one US State.Bearing in Mind,UK probably has a quarter of Boxing gyms the US has,nevermind the difference in Coaching Quality between America and Britain.You ******s have all the advantages and should be dominating the Sport but you dont.Are you going to use the American Football bull**** excuse,Football,Rugby,Cricket,Darts are all more popular sports than Boxing in the UK and we can still match you in most divisions.For your Population and Resources the Stereotype is right,u pricks are a bunch of overweight,spoiled,entitled nation.
