Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan are top class as wellcurrently. I often hear Cuba and Ukraine are the two big countries with the best amateur programs
Yeah I was coming here to mention them. I wonder how many pros will see from those countries in the future. GGG is already a stand out.Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan are top class as well

Kazakhstan gives it's olympic champions $250K, not quite sure on Uzbekistan, in addition these champions from those countries usually get cars and apartments/condos completely paid for by the government and are set up with a cushy government job for life, so, it's almost not worth it to go pro.Yeah I was coming here to mention them.

Maybe.That said, I believe i've seen more fighters from Kazakhstan turning pro recently
I wasn't familiar with his name but after watching a HL of him on youtube I recognise him. I think he is good prospect for a pro, he has good movement.Are you familiar with Daniyar Yeleussinov? I’m expecting him to blow up VERY soon!
Probably. As many have pointed out, a lot of the Central Asian countries formerly part of the Soviet Union have been very strong in recent years, too.
In recent years? They're been dominant since the 1996 olympics. Cuba is the only nation that has been able to constantly keep up with them.
