What country has produced the best all around fighters during the past 60 years?

Abelyan's NABO titles don't count as world titles, as these are regional. Grigorian is from Uzbekistan, not Armenia. So the number remains at two. Not bad for a country with 3.2 million people, tho.

Right, considering they are both champs now - The future looks bright.

I wonder where New York or California would place?

Shannon Briggs, Al "Bummy" Davis, Bernie "Schoolboy" Friedkin, Mike Tyson, Zab Judah, Vivian Harris (now), Riddick Bowe, Sechew Powell (now), Dmotriy Salita (now) and Yuri Foreman (now) all come from the Brownsville section of Brooklyn.

Also Daniel Jacobs who looks to be very good.

America always has and still to this day produces the majority of world class talent but the gap is shortening day by day what with the influx of world class south americans and european fighters.

Without turning a decent conversation into a race argument asia will never truly produce fighters above lightweight level because they statistically as big as north/southern american, europeans etc which makes pacquiao`s promenence to the top all that more spectacular.

Australia is the one the surprises me - been over there a few times and boxing gets quite a lot of attention and is easily the number 1 combat sport that side of the world.

Yet apart from katsidis, tszyu, mundine they havent really produced that much in the way of talent as far as the size and structure of a country that big should do.

1.North America
2.South America
3.Central Europe
4.Northern Europe
5.Asia
6.Australasia
7.Antartica (those seals couldnt find their way out of a fishnet)

Caribean Island region also prodeuces an inordinate number of very fine fighters. Jamaica, Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic, Cuba, Haitie, etc.
