    Ranking the “schools of boxing”

    #1 Eastern European- Dominating amateur and pro.

    #2 Latin/Central American-great amateurs and pros but vary in style I.E Cuba/Mexico.

    #3 Western Asian- Dominating in the amateurs but only a handful of great pros.

    #4 North American- Loads of great pros, not many good amateurs. Lack depth at lower weights.

    #5 Eastern Asian- Some great amateurs and pros but lack depth especially at higher weights.

    #6 Western European- Too old fashioned not enough quality pros aside from Fury and Taylor. Improving amateur system but still lagging behind.

    #7 African- Poor infrastructure, no real depth. Some decent pros but nobody special. Weak amateur system.

    #8 Oceania- No depth, not many notable fighters. Average amateur set up.

    #9 South American- Poor infrastructure and amateur system, haven’t produced a top fighter since Martinez.

    I dunno how serious this thread is... but that’s actually a pretty solid list. I’d have North America a little higher and I’m not too sure you can categorise Mexico and Cuba together although I can see your point geographically.

    The amateur system is definitely improving over here (UK) with the lotto funding but we have too many f***ing backward coaches, old fashioned is spot on tbf. Far too many of the grey haired, shell suit brigade getting you to do roadwork instead of actually working on technique.

      North America are way too far behind in the amateurs.

          Awe man, I was gonna talk about styles....This is just about bull****.

          Amatuer glorification, the Cuban lie, disregarding American influence, it's all here.

          How many great EE fighters are not trained by Americans in America?

          3G?

          Krusher?

          Wlad?

          Usyk?

          Oh but the amateurs....I mean they have to drop that **** and pick up real training from America to be successful world champions, but, them gold medals doe.

          How many great Americans had European trainers at any point in their career?


          My entire life we've been told about how great the Cubans are. Why is it that to this day you can count the great Cuban world champions with your fingers?

              LMAOOOOO

              Another deluded American blinded by nationalism.

              It ain’t the 80’s no more!!!!!

              Cuba is a closed country, maybe that’s why.

              We seen what happened when Loma fought Russell. We seen what happened when Usyk fought Hunter. All four were products of the system. Their system is simply better than yours. Just accept it.

                Got the nickname in school as I was blamed for something and the teacher said “just accept your punishment” I made a witty remark about what if Mandela just did that and the nickname just stuck.
