    Half the guys on that list are not American, and you forgot Robert Helenius, who is a Northern European an will probably roll any one of them.

    I didn't forget Helenius. In many Scandinavian countries boxing was illegal up until the 90s. So it was hard for them to turn pro...........

    I would agree with you if you could explain that lack of mentality, but you probably can't clearly. that's why I chalk it up to other sports becoming much more feasible ways to succeed if you aren't upper middle class or higher

    Most people don't want to get hit in the face for a living.

    i'd be okay with that if any of them introduced the slightest bit of excitement. you may uphold eastern european heavyweights but secretly there's no doubt that ten out of ten times you would spend your money on any prime top tier 90's heavyweight's fight before any klitschko fight.

    As long as big men have a career path of the NFL and NBA? The US will probably never produce a HW champion again unless Boxing has a serious resurgance. Hell US Boxing can't produce quality over 168 let alone HW.

    Boxing is a unique sport that takes an amazing commitment. With the decline of Boxing clubs, rise of cable, rise of PPV, and literally NOTHING after a career in Boxing? There is no chance.

    Tens of thousands americans in 20-25 are over 2 meter. Many of them play basketball.
    The boxing managers must put money on the table when they see someone talented
    George Foreman was picked up from american football
    Today the talents sleep on a madrass in a cold basement for years.
    Thats no way to treat young talents

    The eastern European male is just a superior physical specimen. They have the strongest upperbody strength of any group of males anywhere. They are mentally very tough which is very important for success in boxing, generally have a pretty tough upbringing. They are also among the biggest and tallest of men anywhere and are very athletic for such a big people. So, yeah, they are going to be very competitive in the heavyweight division and perhaps will dominate for years to come.

    He did take boxing and he's awful at it. Stewart would not even consider this bum. He's good in basketball and thats what he does for a living.

    America's social-political landscape is just too complex for comprehension by the limited European mind.
    America will never change unless there is a major Cuban style revolution.
    Even then, the sport of boxing will suffer greatly, and it's decline will be felt all around the world as we have to endure second rate talents such as the Klit sisters as inferior main attractions during the American reset period. It's sort of like the European dark ages that came about at the exodus of the Moors and the elevation of the European church.
