Just wondering if this includes Ryo Miyazaki or not. He vacated on Dec 26th
I wouldnt expect anything less from a big nation like USA..
Much credit to small countries like Japan, UK, and Philipines producing quality fighters. That deserves mad props.
Im just embarassed how Korea and Italy aren't making any noise in this fight game.
japan isnt really a small country, ithas a population of 125 million... thats more than double britain has and a lot more than germany ... less than the usa but the usa is a very large country... in my opinion japan underperforms in sports for the size of the country and economy.
Underperforming based on population, India is #1. Billions of people but no pro boxing champ. Though they got 1 good amateur boxer recently. China too, only 1 pro boxing champ.
that is true... but japan seems to love boxing, i read there is more boxing cards there than anywhere else over the course of a year... japan is not some small noob country...Quote:

It says champs per country. Not champs per commonwealth. So really Puerto Rico shouldn't even be included.Quote:

OK.... you can go ahead and be the only one who excludes P.R. from the boxing stats.
The rest of us will continue as usual.
Considering they have no champions they pretty much excluded themselves alreadyQuote:
