We've talked about countries with great boxing tradition.... champions per capita... etc, etc, etc. The same countries always come up, where boxing has a rich history and there's been many champions. The U.S., England, Mexico, Puerto Rico, to name a few. But how about large countries which just in terms of size should have more boxing champions, but do not. Not thinking the Samoas of the world, but large countries which excel in other sports. I'm thinking Brazil, Spain, Greece. What other countries are there with a poor boxing tradition and/or history, and why would that be? I mean... boxing is not a mainstream sport. But it is one of the world's oldest, and steeped in tradition. Why are countries like these so devoid of champions?
