Is America Eliminated from the HW scene?

Just Russia and the UK combined had more gold medals than the US in '08, with a population of 100 million fewer people.

 

if there was money in the cruiserweight division, you would see more quality fighters...

 

lol owned.

 

was it for displaying unforgivable slickness? :think

 

Jack, why do you only have 48 posts to your name? :huh

and who is the bloke in your avatar? :think

 

US= 596 athletes won 110 medals = 0.18 per athlete
Russia= 455 athletes won 73 medals = 0.16 per athlete
Great Britain = 311 athletes won 47 = 0.15 per athlete

 

one of my deliciously timed uppercuts detonated on your frail jaw would be enough to render you unconscious for a whole month :smoke

 

Russia and the UK have more athletes per capita than the USA.

 

In 2011 Vitali Klitschko earned 30 million (US.Dollars) or, 7 million more than the highest paid NFL player and 4 million more than the highest paid NBA player.:hi:

 

that is true.

 

Good point.

 

We both know the prep for Boxing starts much earlier than age 24, so saying there are only 3000 athletes means jack, and is wrong because you don't take into account the minor leagues associated with each sport, as well as disenfranchised athletes(i.e. guys who don't have full time teams but drift between the gaps)

A better comparison would be Senior High School and College athletics due to the fact those would be potential Olympic boxers, and guess what genius? Go into any High School and have two lists, one for boxers and the other for Wrestlers, Football Players, and Basketball players. Guess which one will have 10x as many names on it.

 

That's about as ignorant a thing as Ive read.

How many nations in the world are there. OK, now, how many have population densities and athletic programs.

If there are 20 TOTAL countries in the world representing boxing, america has more top 100 HWs than any other.

Yeah, countries like the UK, Poland etc are relatively small in comparison, but as far as total quantity of top dawgs, America is still #1.

It's just so happen that the Ukraine is home to #1 and #2 respectively. But in reality, it's their daddy who is greater than any nation currently as it was him who produced the 2 best fighters in the last 10 yrs.deal

 

If that's what you call getting a needle in your ass, sure.

 

Whereas in the rest of the world boxing is the sport of choice for kids.
