    The UK should really only have 2 since the WBA truly belongs to Wlad anyway. But that list just shows what a mess boxing is with all these ABC belts. Felix Sturm shouldn't count. I am sure plenty others like Sturm and Haye shouldn't belong either but I don't know every belts story. I know Sturm has Martinez's belt because he beat the man that beat the man that was stripped wrongly of it. Most are "paper". A ****ing MESS.

    Uhh no. If you add up all the North American champions, Mexico, Dominica, Puerto Rico, Canada NA slaughters Europe.

    Hell the USA and Mexico alone equal Europes total.

    Negative.

    Europe is a continent, so if you put the countries in North America alone you get 23...if you put all the Americas as a whole together, you get 40.

    If that is the case then the America's dominate because Europe IS NOT A COUNTRY and USA, Mexico, Peurto Rico and Canada take it bigtime:tong

    Of course, thats my point. Was just pointing out, if he has to add all the European countries together, then we would have to do the same for America. But you are right, this shouldnt really matter at all.

    Armenia and Kazakhstan are considered European in most sporting organisations and commissions.
