Hi, well, I'm helping a friend with some homework and I really need a list of the most common sports in the USA, which you would think I could do, but I'm from Puerto Rico and I don't really know about that subject in the USA. I hope someone can help me.

I wouldn't read too much into it. The concept of a "champion" nowadays is so weak that it would be wrong to use it as the measuring stick to gage a certain country's achievement or significance. Today, almost anyone can be a champion - connections, appeal, popularity and marketability can get pretty much anyone a title shot in an easy(ish) fight. You no longer have to be the best in your given field to sport the moniker "champion" in boxing. The only thing that matters is that America is still a boxing powerhouse. There are still many great American fighters. Just because there may not be as many as in the past it doesn't mean that American boxing is in a bad state. With the decreased interest and popularity of the sport in America such results are to be expected. Boxing is becoming more and more international and it is only logical that more "champs" come from outside the US boarders, and will continue to do so. World boxing needs the American stage for it to prosper, I will only start to worry when boxing no longer has a place in American society as it will have a negative knock-on effect for the sport internationally. Thankfully that will never happen. Boxing is international, it's healthy for the sport that there is no longer one superpower dominating it. By the way, boxing has unknown (possibly Greek) origins and was modernized and refined in England, it's not an American sport. That was bothering me a bit! **Edit** Jon - thats a pretty fair assessment. I wasn't offended by your question nor was I trying to pounce on any mistakes or make any corrections, I was mearly stating a fact (or what is commonly agreed upon as fact, at least). I agree that America is where boxing prospered and gained the popularity it enjoys today and I find your use of the term "we" (refering to the US) appropiate and acceptable for this reason. I chose to specify it's accepted origins to expand the knowledge of anybody unaware of it and was more of a little bit of triva than a challenge to your point. Prizefighting (boxing) as a common and popular form of entertainment was widespread in England before it was imported to the US, and the fact that the first international bout (England vs US) was fought in England demonstrates that England was the original "home" of boxing, no matter now breif, before it generated huge popularity and "moved" to America.
