Carribbeans in boxing, why do they flame out so quickly?

Jean Pascal and Stevenson are both originally Haitian and their careers have been solid and relatively long careers.

 

McCallum and Johnson would disagree

 

Some nations just are not good at boxing/fighting. I don't know why people look for petty excuses. Some nations are good at boxing, others are not like most of the Carribean countries, it's really as simple as that.

 

name that 'dozen' then.. Not like a dozen would even be a good answer because it's not enough, but no way has there been a dozen unless you are using the word 'great' wrongly cause someone like Glen Johnson is no great lol. There's been a few, but vast majority= terrible. You see a Jamaican, Dominican, etc in the ring you're not gonna expect him to be good.

 

Lewis was the greatest HW boxer since Larry Holmes.. lol, but on a serious note, Mike McCallum is def a great, so is Kid Chocolate and Jose Napoles.

 

My guess would be talent pool and resources. Many of the countries are small, poor countries where boxing isn't particularly popular.

 

Cuba: Jose Napoles, Kid Gavilan, Kid Chocolate, Sugar Ramos, Luis Manuel Ortiz, Guillermo Rigondeaux, Benny Paret, Erislandy Lara
Jamaica: Mike McCallum, Simon Brown
Haiti: Jean Pascal, Adonis Stevenson
Puerto Rico: Wilfredo Gomez, Carlos Ortiz, Wilfred Benitez, Felix Trinidad, Ivan Calderon, Hector Camacho, Miguel Cotto, Esteban DeJesus, Edwin Rosario

 

Livingston Bramble isn’t Dominican

Andrew Lewis isn’t Cuban
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrew_Lewis_(boxer)

 

I think you should read what he said again because if you see the commas he never said Bramble was Dominican or Lewis was from Cuba

 

Jamaica have only ever had one great boxer - Mccallum. Pretty pathetic.

 

They have a population the size of Chicago.

 

Soccer, Cricket, and Track are much more popular sports in Jamaica.
