    Basketball would only account for some of the heavies, same with football for the most part.

    Less punishment, more money, makes sense. But alot of good / great boxers are not that good at other sports.

    It seems that all the new guys don't want to put in the hard work and just want the fame and money and don't want to be the best.

    But less speed and speed is probly the number one skill to have.

    Taller, reach only work with the super heavies and Lennox already beat one of the bros.

    Iron chin, Wlad has been KO'd twice?

    African American boxers are doing relatively well considering there are about 40 million of them in the world.

    Hopkins and Mayweather are better than any Slav currently :good not that I expect you to know who they are

    6 out of the top 10 HW boxers are from Slavic blood. don't worrier maybe eastern Europe will become commies again then you can dominate boxing again, but until then get use to Slavic people being the best at HW.

    That is always the answer I get as well to the question where are all the good American Heavyweights today..... Playing football on Sundays... I also hear some people also say MMA, not sure I agree with that though...

    Any individual can have these attributes regardless of ethnicity, explain how you know for certain that slavic people are the master physical specimen lol. Plus, it means **** if you don't have the boxing skill to go with it.

    Its true, parents send their kids to littel league football and basketball. No parent takes their son to the boxing gym. Football and basketball players have a huge presence and impact upon young blacks, As such, the best black athletes never see a boxing gym.

    I watch boxing for the fights , I'm just stating why black fighters will never make it to the top again, ever one use to say black fighters own boxing, they use to until eastern Europe became free and could compete in pro boxing instead of just amateur.

    Also the best up and coming American Heavyweight is of Slavic blood.

    Face it the US can not compete with eastern Europeans in HW boxing. But eh at least you guys can beat them in basket ball and American football.
