from a british perspective certain elements may be true. however the US still has some of the best facilities and obviously the population of the country makes a big difference so its gotta be only a matter of time. Things are not that bad now actually. I remember a statement from a British boxing writer who said that theres probably a fighter in a US gym sparring whose good enough to win a British title.
