We aren't #1 any more at boxing, especially for the bigger weights. We got mayweather who is 35 and andre ward, a bunch of up and comers but they are all little tiny men. The casuals don't wanna see little guys fight. The future for anything middle weight above is European, mostly eastern euros like golovkin.
Are you saying height = size? Was mike tyson small at 5'10 230? Is mathebula bigger because he is 5'11 1/2 and 122lbs? Use your brain dumbass
and ur basing this on what? the olympics? u do know we have a **** load of fighters who didn't go to the olympics right? and believe me...it wasn't because they weren't capable.
Doesn't matter. I'll still watch Boxing. Nationalism was never quite relevant to me. I just want to see a good fight, that's all. If Arreola or Mitchell can't beat any of the Klits then I give them a decent shot at beating Haye which would be damn great if that happened.
Boxing is more globalized now. It's not that American boxing is getting worse. It's that boxing around the globe is getting better.
to be honest...most of my favorite fighters aren't even american... cotto rigondeaux moreno guzman salido lara but let's not act like the best aren't american floyd dawson ward broner donaire guerrero
It's the heavier weights that matter in boxing. oh yeah I forgot about chad dawson he's pretty good, but LHW is a terrible division.
we have some up-and-coming heavyweights that will make noise in the next two years. it happens in cycles. give it time.
A major factor o the globalization of boxing is the cloplise of the USSR. Outstanding boxers who would have never had the chance to go pro have and are making an impact on the sport.
