1. Puerto Rico 9.52
2. Panama 7.18
3. United States 1.37
4. Dominican Republic 1.33
5. Venezuela 1.12
6. Mexico 1.03
7. Cuba 0.98
8. England 0.89
9. Argentina 0.76
10. Australia 0.67
So basically, if you consider the population of the countries, Puerto Rico has by far the highest number of boxing world champions in history per capita than any other country in the world.
Hey my friend, some time ago we talked about these statistics and finally you shared them with me, and all of us. We just have to ask ourselves how many world champions we have had as neighbors (almost, less than 15 minutes drive), I had 2, Jose "Caguitas" De Jesus (I sparred with him while I was training for a kickboxing fight) and Juan Laporte.
