Top 3 countries in boxing?

[NEETzsche]

USA
Japan
Mexico
Ukraine catching up.

In all likelihood right now is the high watermark of Ukrainian boxing for the foreseeable future. The Olympic class of 2012 was a once-in-a-lifetime golden generation. Maybe if Anatoly Lomachenko moves back to Ukraine and starts coaching kids again it could be repeated

At the end of the day though, Usyk and Loma at the front, it's really all they need lol. When your country has a population of 40 mil and has 2 of the top 4 P4P guys, you make the cut lol

And don't sleep on Gvozdyk. He's taking Donny's crown

Yeah they are doing brilliantly right now. Just don't see too many young prospects coming through to replenish the ranks after the current crop starts to decline

USA #1 and Mexico #2 is set in stone. If we include the amateur game then Cuba is probably #3, since they consistently win golds in pretty much every major tournament

Cuba should not be included. They have NO pro boxing. Their amateur boxers are supported by the state and are really their pro boxers. They win tournaments because it's their pros vs true amateurs. If Lara was in Cuba he would be fighting as an amateur. What amateur from another country would have a chance to beat him?

How would you rank Germany?
They were not mentioned even one time here.

How would you rank Germany?

About as much as I'd rate having hemorrhoids or as much as I'd rate a f4gs chances of not going to hell for eternity

USA, Mexico, UK is the correct answer.

Puerto Rico is a US territory but try telling that to the Mexicans!

Even though many Eastern European countries were relatively recently a part of USSR, not all of them were.
For instance Bulgaria, Romania. Some are debatable if they are Eastern Europe of central Europe - Slovakia, Hungary, Poland... All those countries were never parts of Soviet Union. And they all have distinctive boxing schools (maybe except Slovakia)
