    As soon as they make it a priority, there will come some top level fighter. Just like they have in some of the other major sports.

    It's just cultural. Most of China's elite athletes do gymnastics. The government simply doesn't have the resources to develop boxing talent like it does with other Olympic sports.

    Yes, he is and you wouldn't believe that he still looks almost identical to this version.

    boxing was banned under mao, am boxing is doing good there now( and india to a lesser extent).They got three olympic medals in 2008 one which they robbed from kenny egan.there is no really pro scene.The duvas have a deal to promote their boxers

    " D&D has negotiated a joint venture agreement with the China Olympic Sports Initiative that gives it exclusive marketing rights to a number of sports. The Chinese wanted boxing to be the first project on that agenda, which is where Duva's expertise came in"

    :patsch Dumb answer^^ i think China would be a powerhouse, but boxing is not a big sport in CHina. BUt they were good enough to get some medalist in the last Olympics. Communism takes away how good some of these guys could be.
