List of all time "World" champions by continent - South America

Fucking hell, I am not looking forward to North America tomorrow night. I've started though, so I'll finish. Oceania, I ain't forgot you baby. Tell u/hommytearns that I remembered Anthony Mundane.

Also, Charles Martin is going to be part of a World champion list tomorrow. So fucking depressing.

This does not include lineal or NYSAC, NBA, IBO, The Ring or any other organisation. I'll do a lineal one at some point.

This list contains every WBC, WBA (regular and super), WBO, IBF & interim belt winners from South America since the sanctioning bodies were founded. The WBA reigns do not include pre-WBA, when it was called the NBA.

Takeaway notes:

• Most even and fiercely competitive continent so far. Each of the others has usually had a standout - Japan, United Kingdom, South Africa. Out of 103 Individual champions between Argentina, Colombia and Venezuela, Colombia edge the most by 1 (35) ahead of the others (34).

• The only division South America doesn't boast a World champion is heavyweight.

• Leo Gamez, Jorge Linares, Acelino Freitas and r/Boxing god Sergio Martinez have won the most titles in South America with 4 each.

• 30 champions from this continent have won more than one belt. Staggeringly, that's almost a third.

• Brazil with the population they have as well as the fighting culture really shocked me with just four separate World champions.

• Amazingly, only five countries have produced World champions - Argentina, Venezuela, Peru, Colombia and Brazil.

• The continent has produced some of the finest fighters in history - Leo Gamez, Eder Jofre, Carlos Monzon and more.

• Totals - 108 Individual champions, 150 Total belts held.
