    Thanks Matt, It's not concrete but it's pretty accurate. If anyone has any corrections I would be happy to recalculate. I got one of my nerdy buddies to work out simple percentages of number of champs per countries population.

    One champion in a country could be considered a fluke or an anomaly and excluded, moving Ireland up to 5th!

    What kind of champions are included in this? From all organizations or just the 4 biggest ones? Because a WBU belt technically is also a champions belt..

    I'll buy that:good Just a note, this dosen't include number of titles won, just the number of world champs. I'm working on a list of titles won per country, I'll post it when it's done.

    If you count Mikkel Kessler as being from Monaco, I suspect they would shoot to #1 on the list.

    I don't buy into this population bull****. It's the population of pro boxer you should focus on.Like how many boxers each countries has had over the years..from the past to the present.

    Ireland, USA, Panama, and Puerto Rico all seem to really stick out and distinguish themselves.

    So go make that list:good I was interested in champs per capita cos I always hear people talk about it and I was interested to see what the list would look like. Obviously Belize is not a better boxing nation than the US. It's just statistics, there's a lot behind the numbers though.
