[Tony1244]

Per capita, you've got to hand it to Cuba, Puerto Rico, and Mexico. Imagine when all Cubans will be allowed to turn pro. Nation vs nation and yes color vs color have always sold tickets. The US has certainly taken a relative nosedive but still obviously has some very good fighters. Eastern Europeans have some all time greats and those countries joining the pro ranks have changed everything.

[Chepppaaa]

1. cuba
2. usa
3. uk
4. russia
5. mexico


considering how small the island is and how many great boxer they got right now. lara, rigondeaux, gamboa, hernandez and a lot of good quality upn comers, all from one tiny island.

usa is always good, always has been this way and always will be. but because of inactivity (ward), dirty hugging wrestling style (mayweather) and overhyped overrated guys (broner & danny) they take a huge hit for second place.

uk is underrated. people only see froch & brook. but uk has a serious amount of quality boxers who could very likly become top 5 in their division like eubank jr and ogogo, some even #1 like big john and luke cambpell.

they are the #1 country when we talk about boxing from LH - HW. povetkin, lebedev, chahkiev, kudryashow, egor, kovalev, beterbiev.

mexico like usa, always good. but with marquez soon retiring and aside canelo no real superstar the future doesnt look so good, compared to the great years when morales, barrera, vasquez, margarito and many more were around.

very good list

[ttornado]

very good list

Yes it is good, but Ukraine should be higher. I'd say 7th

[Chepppaaa]

very good list

yeah phillpines only consist of pac and donaire to me, overrated country in boxing.

argentina consist only of matt and maidana, sergio is on his way out.

both country dont have gold or silver medalist upc comers like russia.

russia easily top 5 boxing country, ukraine close, but debatable.

[PsychoGamer]

Germany, lol...

Huck is serbian, Arslan/Teper/Murat are turkish, Hammer is romanian, Pianeta is italian, Charr is syrian, Gutknecht/Gerber/Stieglitz are russian, Krasniqi is albanian, Abraham is armenian, Sturm is bosnian, Rahimi is afghan, Culcay is equadorian...

There would be Brähmer, thats it.

Africa has some good boxers, Takam, Mchunu, Makabu, Chilemba, Liebenberg, Oosthuizen, Adama, Clottey, van Heerden, Vetyeka, Mathebula, Butler...

To be fair, Gutknecht/Gerber/Stieglitz are all Germans whose ancestors moved to Russia.

This info is out of date.

[Duch]

Yeah, it could be.

I don't want to check all of these data and count it again.
But I don't think statistics would be very different. It just shows that Cuba, Mexico and Japan are very strong. Australia - I don't know how much this is fresh and how much this is luck rather than a tendency. The USA is strong but not on the podium.

Mexico is not that small. 120,000,000 people.
