    As already mentioned Puerto Rico and Panama have an unreal list of world champs P4P, mostly at the lower weights. Would love to know their secret to producing that number of quality fighters.

    In all fairness, the population of Mexico is about double the population of Britain.

    Agreed they dont compare really not to mention Welsh champs actually traverse a longer period when boxing was not as known/popular sport in PR or Panama. The majority PR and Panamanian fighters are from 1950's onwards.

    Nice point there mate when you consider it's about 60 miles from Newport to Swansea and about a 15 mile arch to the north to include Merthyr Tydfil & the Rhondda Valley .the M4 corridor and few points north has produced a decent number of Champs .
