    What nations fielded the most title challengers but have the fewest number of world titlists?

    Wow, this would be a rough one with 4 titlists banging around for the last few decades. This is speadsheet-like research one might have to do. Without any numbers to back me up, I might say South Korea, as they were in bed with the WBA for years where even some of there most inept fighters were getting title shots. It seemed like every week a Korean or a Venezuelan (another good pick) was fighting for a title. But again, I don't have numbers to back me up, so its just conjecture.

    Nice! I think Poland can be added to that list as well.

    The answer is simple... The USA. By far the most champions, but also far, far more failed challengers than anyone else too.
