    1) USA - 424

    2) Mexico - 107

    8' France - 33

    9) Venezuela - 31

    10) Philipenes - 30




    *** Top 10 P4P Boxing's Greatest Nations ***

    How many people do you think Mexico has? it has around 100-105 million people so based on you calculations Mexico should have around 1.07-1.02 champs per million so Mexico should be in your p4p list at about number 8...

    hmm says.. where did you get the data to make your list? Quite impressive how you narrowed down the number of champions to their respective country.
