Ground work/clinch work is more tiring than striking. Though sometimes they do take breathers there.

IIRC they are in central America, but that is within North America.

As usual, you don't understand. There are different variables involved and Conor isn't near one of the top guys for stamina anyway. One fight encapsulates an entire sport? Do you even think before you type? :lol:

North America is #1
#2 is where the real fight takes place between Europe and Asia. Countries like Japan, Philippines and Thailand have vibrant scenes with strong history. Secondary boxing nations like Indonesia and South Korea and pretty interesting (even if Korea is a shadow of what it used to be), whilst Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan are becoming powerhouses themselves.

Europe has had a long history with the UK, Germany, Ireland (amateurs particularly) and France, with Ukraine and Russia coming to the forefront recently and Poland also providing some decent fighters.

At the lower weights Asia walk this whilst at the higher weights it's an easy one for Europe. Overall though, there really isn't a clear winner IMO for the #2 place, and if anything the next decade will see things swing in the way of Asia (Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Japan and China all having booms in that time period).

4 Africa
5 South America (particularly when you consider the female boxing scene in Argentina)
6 Oceania

Right now Europe, then Asia, then America.
But over the past 200 years America, Asia, Europe.
I also think America has the biggest and best media, that helps a really really lot.

Europe are the best right now and will be for the forseeable future. But obviously in history it's North America .. one of the main reasons for that is most of the best boxing nations in Europe couldn't even turn professional till quite recently.

Asia are only good in the really lower weight divisions that no one cares about and most boxing fans don't even watch like minimumweight and strawweight lol , there is a very low number of boxers in these weights and most countries don't even have boxers in these weights lol. Above featherweight were the numbers are higher they cannot compete with the top guys ( it's very rare)

Africa are the worst by far, they are completely useless. hopeless. I don't know why some posters try to be politically correct and nice about it. Africa are absolutely terrible at boxing, pro, am. every weight division, any way you look at it. they suck big time.

South America are pretty poor too, North America and Europe are really the only continents that are good at boxing.

1 North America
2 Europe
( big gap..............!)
3/4 South America and Asia ( about the same)
5 Oceania
6 Africa

Yes. Having opportunity to fight big fights and the exposure changes the playing field.
A lot of talent in parts of Africa we will never see. Look at the few guys that have made it out of places like Ghana, or Indongo (the person) for example..
We can list the continents but the real levels of talent will never be recognised by the general Western boxing fans.

Indogno is decent nothing special, but the vast majority -99.9999% of africans are absolutely useless. They all get chances at commonwealth titles in the UK and they all get beat up easily. They all go out on the 1st round at the Olympics and World championships, When you draw an African fighter in boxing you think it's your lucky day! Nigeria in particular are embarassingly poor for a nation of 190 million.

Technically, it's a sub-continent, so shouldn't count. But seeing as Jip clearly doesn't know fcuk all about the world map (I do like his passion though) let's include it.

Just on contemporary guys the should probably be something like:

North America: Ward, Crawford, MGarcia, Spence, Thurman, Santa Cruz, Canelo, Jacobs and many more. From Wilder to Saul Juarez a mix of decent or better fighters through most all divisions.

Europe: Lomachenko, Usyk, Joshua, Frampton, Kovalev plus lots of decent UK and Russian fighters and a few others. Well represented at higher weights, dotted through the rest but anything below Flyweight is rare.

Asia - Golovkin, Inoue, Yamanaka plus lots of Japanese, some Philipino and a couple of Chinese and Thai guys that are decent. Currently underrepresented at weights over 130 but with GGG's rise to fame that could change in the future.

South America / Africa - hard to split them. Tete, Indongo and Commey > pretty much anyone from SA, but Argentina in particular has more depth. Not much going on above 147 for either.

Oceania - not much here. Best fighters from this region are Parker, Horn and Browne and there isn't much depth beyond that.
