The WBO belt took off when Wladimir Klitschko was holding it. Now looking back, the man DID make the belt...not the other way around. But when Morrison and Mercer held it, it meant nothing. It truly was worthless until recently, if your feelings get hurt because that is all you have sorry.

wbc belt is the one I like best. but on topic - yes America with 10 x population has produced 10 x the champions. roughly.
Why don't Americans ever give the Brits any props? They could just say " hey for a country less than a quarter th size of Texas, they don't do too bad" ?
It's just people poking fun in the forums. The British like to poke the stick at the americans and vice versa. The fact is when the **** hits the fan we are the closest allies. :good
Size don't mean much tho. Look at the Cubans in boxing, or the Icelandics in Strongman, or Samoans in football
Our friends the Brits started it all. An occasional retaliation is warranted. And here we find as usual they want some sort of a per capita correction to make up for the deficit in boxing champions. You have to earn a per capita correction, though. We might consider it for Puerto Rico and Cuba, but not Great Britain. But we are considering their application.
Totally pointless too. It's no annual Olympics; it's a global sport, and thus, irrelevant. Everybody knows America has the richest talent in the sports' history, no breaking news to anyone, get over yourself.
classic. Trying to put up an argument that their 4 is really more than the US's 48. What's worse to me is the clowns on here that think herbie hide was a legit heavyweight champ.
He held a world belt. I'm sure he has a copy in his house. So yeah he was - A clown. What this really means is that there too many dodgy belts.
