    Bit unfair really. Poland weren't allowed to box professionally under communist rule.

    Google them, they were pretty good.

    Even compare fighters from the last 15 years, there's no comparison really. Wales KO1 Poland with a tenth of their population.

    most of them guys were semi good because EE was not allowed to compete in pro boxing....bunch of bums....if EE boxers had been fighting,those bums wouldn't be able to make top 50 in ranking
    michalczewski is a legend compare to those bums(save calzage)
    maccarinelli ??? for fuk sake,you are pathetic now
