It's the truth, nothing more, Puerto Rico boxing is in a bad moment since 20 years ago.

It's a crisis, and countries like Japan, England of countries of East Europe are better than them.

And they are losing all the fights against México .

Dear oh dear, why do non-boxing folks bother coming here?

[KiwiRider]

That's a lame excuse.

Puerto Rico lacks of good trainers, their talent is weak, actual fighters from Puerto Rico does not have good chin, and they are mentally weaks.

They have the full support of the WBO and they can't produce champions.

They have like 20 years in a bad moment.

Cotto, Calderon, Danny García and maybe Juanma López that is the best they produced in 20 years...

20 years...

For an island with so few people, they have had stunning success.
Take my country for example, a few more people and only one 'barely' champion in Parker- ever!
So go Puerto Ricans!

I’ve heard that small country analogy for a long time but I don’t really know how important it is. Take California for example. So many important champs from just one state in the US. From Mikey Garcia to Andy Ruiz. Many are from the Los Angeles area and when you can even narrow it down even more and say that many come from mainly certain pockets of Los Angeles. May have more to do with historical and regional interest in a sport. Eg I live in a small area outside of Los Angeles that is known fir producing top Major League Baseball stars. The youth culture and youth coaching here naturally reflects that

Well put. But not to worry, not many were taking this thread (or the OP) too seriously. Your points are dead on.

[jamamb]

depends how many ppl in the area actually box. like indonesia has more ppl then the us but i doubt 1 tenth the boxers

you can have smaller countries overall that actually have much higher boxing populations then larger countries. is that still punching above ones weight, in terms of the success of who actually boxes?

So that they have an opportunity to meet you, of course.
