Japan now has the most Major Titles in Boxing. America is #2.

I thought this was interesting. Japan has the most Major Titles and America is #2.

Ford was unlucky to not get that decision. I thought he nicked it.

Still, it’s good to see boxing being so healthy in Japan.

Good I'm happy for the Japanese, I'd love to go to a big fight card over there.

That's quite impressive for Japan! It's great to see the country making such significant strides in the boxing world. With the talent and dedication of their fighters, it's no surprise they've achieved this milestone. America still holds a strong position, but it's exciting to see the global competition heating up. What do you think has contributed to Japan's success in boxing?

[The D3vil]

Good for them.

I wish American fighters still had the fighting sprit.

All all are in the very lower weights. Hence why the vast majority of boxing fans wouldn't consider Japan that big a force, ( many wouldn't even be able to name any fighters apart from Inoue)because the vast majority of boxing fans do not watch little midgets in divisions where the number of boxers are low, where only certain areas of the world have fighters that small, and where there's a new weightclass every poxy measly few pounds. Some of these divisions are as thin as womens boxing.

Japan massively underachieve from Featherweight to Welterweight (or you could say Featherweight to Middleweight) where they also have a very high number of boxers in these weightclasses, but rarely have any world champions, top fighters there. That's because the numbers of boxers are much higher, and the best nations in boxing have much larger numbers of boxers in these weightclasses.

To clarify japan are producing some good boxers, but you have to look at the truth and it in perspective. They usually don't have any world champions from featherweight up because they usually are not good enough.


Japan current number of pro boxers per weight division
Minimumweight 55
Light Flyweight 76
Flyweight 105
Super Flyweight 125
Bantamweight 149
Super Bantam 50
Featherweight 133
Super Featherweight 131
Lightweight 125
Light Welterweight 89
Welterweight 88
Light Middleweight 24
Middleweight 29
Super Middleweight 9
Light Heavyweight 2
Cruiserweight 0

If they were as big a boxing force as some people are trying to claim they would have had much more success between Featherweight to Middleweight. But It's obvious why they haven't. There's no excuses for their failures from Featherweight to Middleweight.

Facts

Not too many American men walking around 130lbs or less. This isn't a flex at all lol.
