He wasn't counting North America...All the fighters he listed are in Europe...Read it closer...I wouldn't call Kessler the clear #1 in SMW either..U can argue he's 1 and a pretty valid argument too...but hes not clearly #1
Based on his Calzaghe fight, I'd have to say he has done the most in the division. Plus the belts he held going in.
Bollocks mate. Russia isnt in even the top 4 in in rice production in Asia. Frankly I doubt its in the top 10. You sure it was rice not wheat or something the actually do grow in quantity?
Could be, this was years ago, but my point was Russia being considered Europe. Seems you can find maps either way. But like I also said, the divide between Europe/Asia really seems to be more political if you look at a map. Even as a kid I didn't understand why they were considered separately since they are basically the same land mass.
Russia is most certainly both european and asian, not one or the other. The divide point is the ural mountains but as you say it is a bit arbitary... in a geological sense europe and (most of) asia are the same land mass.
