National Boxing Rankings

[lesov]

I used boxrec top 25 for each division to make this ranking.

Is it any useful? Kind of interesting to see USA dominant in all weights Lightweight and above (but not Cruiser). And then Mexico and Japan in lower ones.

I will keep this updated monthly.

I am surprised to see South Africa so high. Is it correct ?

I agree, I would expect them to be strong(ish) at the lower weights but this table has them level with Germany in the Cruiserweight division, not sure i buy that

Interesting information. Although boxing isn't a nation v nation sport, British boxing, both past and present is something to be proud of in my opinion!

Mchunu and Venter are both top 25 ranked from South Africa whilst Huck and Arslan are also top 25 ranked from Germany.

Ah, see what you mean.
Surprised there are only two Germans in the top 25, I thought there was more than that.

Ye. I could easily switch to do top 50 instead. But it is computerized ranking so there is always going to be some room for human judgment. I think top 25 gives the best representation of country performance. And I play to keep it updated every month I could track it like fifa national futbol ranking and then have aggregate at the end of the year to smooth out anomalies such as Montenegro.

Actually, rankings after top 10-15 are pretty arbitrary. I would suggest to try top 10 or 15.
