Strongest country by division?

Matt Korobov definately so fix up on your knowledge

 

Kazakhstan - Welterweight. 4 Olympic gold medalists in a row in that division.

2000 - Ermahan Ibraimov
2004 - Bakhtiyar Artayev (Val Barker Trophy winner)
2008 - Bakhyt Sarsekbayev
2012 - Serik Sapiyev (Val Barker Trophy winner)

 

you should change japan ryota just became the best japenese middleweight

 

Fine. As of Friday he was yet to even debut in the pros so I wasn't going to include him strictly because of his amateur reputation.

...but yeah, given his success with Shibata it's probably not a stretch to say he beats Fuchigami and Ishida...with ease. :good

You mean two Haitians and a Romanian?

 

Light middleweight - #1 Mexico (Alvarez, Molina, Angulo), #2 USA (Trout, Smith, 3rd spot up for grabs between either Charlo brother or the winner of Martirosyan vs. Andrade), #3 Puerto Rico (Cotto, J. Gonzalez, Flores) #4 UK (Rose, Godding, Smith), #5 Argentina (Maciel, Pitto, Cuello), #6 Cuba (Lara, Jhonson, Fitz), #7 Germany (Culcay, Torosyan, Arik), #8 France (Horta, Soro, Vitu), #9 Ghana (Okine, Sai, Bruce), #10 Brazil (Teixeira, Ataide, Oliveira)


154 was hard. Lots of countries have a single guy in the top 15-20 but nobody else of note behind them, giving them absolutely no depth. (Belarus with Rabchenko, Russia with Baysangurov, Dominica with D-Rod, Poland with Jonak, etc)

 

IntentionalButt, thanks for all the detailed rankings by weight. Made it easier for all of us

 

Welterweight - #1 USA (Mayweather, Bradley, Broner), #2 Mexico (Marquez, Soto Karass, Cano), #3 Philippines (Pacquiao, Laurente, Melligen), #4 Argentina (Abregu, Maidana, Chaves), #5 UK (Gavin, Brook, Purdy),#6 Italy (Bundu, Petrucci, Branco), #7 South Africa (van Heerden, Mabuza, Hlatshwayo), #8 Canada (Bizier, Zewski, Decarie), #9 Japan (Kamegai, Watanabe, Takayama), #10 Australia (Omotoso, Zappavigna, Ben Rabah)

 

Cheers.

I figure it's a pretty good system, looking at the best three produced by each nation in each division. Not perfect but it serves. To be the "strongest country" there must be some depth - even if the division ruler is from there, if they don't have anybody else it can't be considered strongest. :good

Then in ranking them I sort of average out all three guys and go from there. So if you have one elite and then a pair of so-so compatriots, that country might wind up ranked behind another with three very solid contenders even though any of them would lose to said elite.

 

what gavin before brook:think

 

Light welterweight - #1 USA (Garcia, Peterson, Alvarado), #2 Argentina (Matthysse, Cuenca, Godoy), #3 Russia (Allakhverdiev, Provodnikov, Papazov), #4 Mexico (DeMarco, Soto, Orozco), #5 Ukraine (Postol, Redkach, Fedchenko), #6 UK (Khan, McCloskey, McAllister), #7 Dominica (Guzman, Abreu, Cayo), #8 Panama (Mosquera, Mosquera, Renteria), #9 South Africa (Marali, Funeka, Yoyo), #10 Colombia (Prescott, Mendoza, Ramos)

 

Yeah, originally they were put down the other way around with me thinking it over a while before changing it...but I project he'll go further.

Gavin hasn't been nearly decapitated by Carson Jones to my knowledge. :yep The version of Vassell he beat I think would be a danger to Brook.

A lot of times my ordering skews a bit far toward perceived h2h clout rather than resume...that's just my preferred way of doing it...

 

Just to let you know theres a few move divisions
And lol great britain for super middle, Froch is not top of the divison

 

true but brook has beaten both lomax and mcintyre commen opponents earlier, but i would give gavin a good shot to beat brook
