hmmm, interesting topic walkwithme. good job. this will spark some good conversation. my only comment would be if you're interested, a great book the wife got me was boxing: a cultural history
Definitely true about US. I mean there isn't a boxing gym in every city around every corner, but there is a basketball court or football field. I can't personally touch on everything else, but I'm sure your assesment on Euro boxers is true by that same token. Interesting topic
I think there is some logic there that can not be dismissed so easily. You could also make the case that Asian people are also slightly smaller on Average compared to Europeans and North Americans and thus fair better in the lower weight divisions.
You typically have to go to large cities to find a boxing gym, while every small town high school has a football, basketball, and baseball program, and there's even small MMA gyms popping up in my area, but certainly not as many as the karate dojos here, but for boxing, everyone says "You have to go the city for that".
