    Serbs are Eastern Orthodox Christians just like Bulgarians. Muslims who live in Serbia have foriegn heritage - Bosnian or Albanian. Most of the Muslims who live at Balkan peninsula are deem to be heirs of converted Christians during the Turkish empire rule.

    **** it now I'm confused again. So are Hucks ancestors Turks from the Ottoman era, or Serbs, or maybe Croats who converted to Islam during the Ottoman rule? Or could he might as well be either?

    He does look like a Turk now that you mention it. Big nose and all.

    Could be both. Turks who decided to stay at occupied teritories or converted Christians. There were no Muslims at the Balkans before Ottoman rule.

    I mean he doesnt speak turkish or anything, but his people (the ottomans) came to the Sandzak region of the Balkans 500 years ago. the Sandzaklijas developed their own identity since then, for example they are known as the skilled businessman and risk takers in our region and are really religious

    IButt, Have you heard that Freddie Roach picked Huck to win? :lol:

    Holy ****, that would be a big upset in my opinion.

    I'm starting to understand him Germanizing his name and just simply becoming a Kraut. :lol:

    Im a croat who grew up in former Yugoslavia, I know my ****.

    Serbia for the most part has 3 ethnic minorities who are muslim - the Albanians, The Sandzaklijas (settled turks) and the Gorani (converted Serbs)

    Huck is a sandzaklija

    If its a 12 round fight i wouldnt be suprised at all if huck wins! even if povetkin leads on the score cards aswell! Povetkin needs to bust him up pretty bad to win this

    Ok, I got that part.

    Are the Bosniaks a complete group of their own, no relation to the Sandzakiljas?

    I'm a Huck fan but he's a Crusierweight. Povetkin UD 12 or late stoppage.
