Who Produces The Toughest Fighters?

[Billy T]

When you look at fighters by race and then nationality. Who generally produces the toughest boxers?
Who produces the fighters with the fastest hands?
Who produces the fighters with the best footwork?
Who produce the hardest hitting fighters?
Who produces the fighters who want to go out on their shield before the would give up?
Who has the smartest fighters?

When I say boxers by race then nationality. Such as:
White / USA
Black / USA
Hispanic / USA
Hispanic / Mexico
Hispanic / Puerto Rico
Hispanic / El Salvador
Hispanic /Spain
Hispanic/ Argentina
White/ Canada
White/ Ukraine
White / England
White/ Australia
White/ Germany
White/ Russia
Asian/ Philippines
Asian/ China
Asian/ Japan
White/ S Africa
Black/ S Africa
Black/ Columbia
Hispanic/ Columbia
Black/ Haiti
Hispanic/ Haiti
Feel free to list more, these were just of the top of my head.

I am not interested in a race war type discussion. I want to know what boxing traits are attributed to what races in what nations.

I agreed with every one of your picks except the last one.

I would go with Black/USA or Cuba.

Boxers like Muhammad Ali, Bernard Hopkins, Sugar Ray Leonard, Roy Jones, and even Floyd Mayweather and ndre Ward are all quick thinking boxers who beat their opponents alot of times by simply outsmarting them. Lomachenko is probably the only stand out I can think of in the other category. Cuba on hold has alway produced a lot smart, technically savvy boxers.

go through the hsitory of the sport and you'll find your answer incredibly easily.


the united states has more all time great fighters than the other nations combined. almost all of the very best fighters ever are american. the only people who ever really get into a top 10 all time discussion who are not are duran and langford [who lived and fought in boston and moved from nova scotia as a child.] IIRC he ran away from home and was a local amateur champion in boston by his mid teens, i don't know when exactly he left.


unless you want to know who the best pnching bags were you can just look at these guys with 75-100 fights in the modern era, or 200+ fights from bygone eras who were also all time greats and get your answer.

america. obviously.

I don't think a single respectable poster on this forum would attribute the British to have the best boxers / best attributes throughout history.

We've had some very good, notable fighters but nobody is under the illusion that places such as the USA and the Hispanic countries havent provided far more and with greater rivalries / accolades.

The fact you didn't want to contribute to the topic, and just bowled straight in with your anti-british rubbish again speaks higher volumes than our apparent shouting about how much better we are. You're like one of those spastics at the Ryder cup that shout "get in the hole" on a 550 yard par 5 tee shot.

But let's be honest, nobody on either side of the aisle expected anything better from you.

Inb4 joke bro...
