Panama could rival Puerto Rico in terms of number of boxing champions in a given population...
.
Size of Panama:75,517 km2 (118th) 29,157 sq mi
Size of PR:9,104 km2 (169th) 3,515 sq mi

I've said population NOT land area...

Population:
Panama .......... 3,454,000
Puerto Rico ..... 3,982,000

Boxing Titles:

Panama - 4 titles
* Celestino Caballero - WBA 122; IBF 122
* Guillermo Jones - WBA 200
* Anselmo Moreno - WBA 118
Note: Ricardo Cordoba just recently lost his title last weekend.

Puerto Rico - 5 titles
* Ivan Calderon - WBO 108
* Miguel Cotto - WBO 147
* Juan Manuel Lopez - WBO 122
* Roman Martinez - WBO 130
* Daniel Santos - WBA 154

now do complete championship history of both countries and see how that plays out
