If 99 per cent of their athletes weren't playing soccer. Fact! Imagine if all their best fighters always had home advantage and fellow countrymen referees to let them get away with as much holding as they want, break the action when they're under pressure and use their elbows as weapons all night like America's homeboys always do. American fighters always have the deck heavily weighted in their favor.
Messi is the #1 athlete in the world I agree, argentina is 46% Italian. There are 24 million Italian-Argentines and they all love sports and dominate
If scarecrows weren't essential to the safeguarding of crops from crows and other birds they would dominate the sport. Unfortunately, they are all out standing in their field.
Take that naughtiness out of my thread. This is a celebration of Argentinian boxing and an expose on the corruption and how the deck is always heavily weighted in America's home boys favor.
I ain't hating Just keeping it real Maidana wouldn't have lost that in Argentina and ya'll know it Neither would Matthysse have to Garcia Mayweather and Garcia wouldn't have been allowed to hold, elbow, and low blow all night either.
You mean like how he had to beat Cintron twice in one fight in Merrca to get a draw? How he had to lay P.Willy out cold dead fish style to ensure he didn't get robbed against him again? How he got 2 knockdowns that shouldn't have been counted against counted against him when he fought Pavaholic and P.Willy? What about Matthysse beating Devon and Zab only to return home empty handed? LMFAO
Assuming Lebron could take a punch....I would imagine he'd make a pretty decent fighter. lol. All joking aside, Argentina is a great sporting nation. But honestly, boxing in America is kind of a dying sport in comparison to nba, nfl, etc. I think it will continue to remain popular because of the huge latin following and its worldwide appeal. But USA has some great athletes that would make good boxers, I truly believe that.
Let's be honest, every single country has massive hometown bias. There are no exceptions. I estimate the advantage is something like 15% between reffing and decisions.
