    checked boxrec there and from 160 up usa is doing very poorly, these are there only fighters in the top 10

    heavyweight -#9 (Wilder in reality not even top 10)
    cruiserweight - none
    light heavyweight - #2 Hopkins( very near the end of his career)
    super-middleweight - #1 Ward(will be out of the rankings if he doesnt fight soon
    #10 Love(just about there)
    middleweight - #4 Quillen( still has to step up)

    what happening to america in the higher weight classes this is a huge fall off from 10-15 years ago, where they probebly could have had 5 of the top ten in 1 weight class alone

    stricter PED testing is a big reason.

    PED testing in boxing is an absolute joke. Anyone who believes they're deterring PED use with that BS hasn't got a clue. :lol:

    Great Britain has Froch, Groves, DeGale, the Fury brothers,etc. GGG just beat Geale from Australia. The whole pack of killers from various countries in Eastern Europe. The island nations like Haiti produced Bermane Stiverne and Jean Pascal.
