    Ghana - u have to understand our culture to appreciate how amazing it is that we produce some great fighters. Training and equipment very hard.
    Many great fighters only a few are able to make it to get to America or on television.
    my dream has always been to donate $ to build a gym to
    give more kids a chance. A lot of politics almost an uphill battle.

    produced -Azumah nelson, Ben tackie, Quartey, Abeko, Kotei
    Always make clean, smart tough fights for any fighter.

    all good, and yeah it's hard to make it to the world level and on TV; the general public can also be a little picky when it comes to who they want to see, so the exposure is affected by that as well

    Yep, we can start with the middleweight legend, the Michigan Assasin, Stanisław Kiecal aka Stanley Ketchel. Since Poland knocked out the commies, who prevented any pro boxing for nearly half a century, they´ve been producing decently, starting with Golota and Michalczewski. Today there´s Adamek, Wach, Sosnowski, Wolak, Proksa, Masternak, Wlodarzyk, and the up and coming Szpilka among others. After the UK, I´d say Poland may be the second or third (possibly after Ukraine) best producer in Europe. I don´t rank Germany in front, simply because a lot of top fighters based in Germany are emigres. Poland simply loves boxing and it is a healthy, growing sport industry in the country.

    It's not a country, but Mother Theresa once said that Michigan is a nation of boxers unto itself.
