    Still probably a better year than what we're seeing from American heavyweights.

    They did what we all pretty much expected, no?

    It's only a terrible year for them if you expected more out of them. Chalk me among those who didn't.

    Only world class fighters there are Quillin and Jacobs and they didn't do anything unexpected awful in the last 7 months...

    Bryant Jennings winning a few rounds and staying on his feet against Wladimir is one of the finer performances in recent HW history.

    Initially typed as a joke, I actually think that it may be the truth.

    Wish Pavlik would come back and be a gatekeeper of sorts to the higher level. Would make it more interesting. Didn't he retire during a Ward training camp?

    Yeah Ward got injured and they postponed the fight and Pavlik retired, although he's developed a seizure disorder since retiring that would most likely prevent him from making a return.

    Real boxing fans don't worry about which country produces the best fighters since real boxing fans are fans of the best fighters. Real boxing fans don't root for guys of their own heritage. Well yes they do, but they don't **** ride them. Real boxing fans appreciate champions from around the world. Facts are facts. You call yourself a boxing fan, but you're not really a boxing fan.

    Real boxingfans don't care if some of their countrymen are called out for doing badly if it's justified. Certainly not if the guy calling it actually is from that country, like CST is in this case.

    If a big boxing country deserves critisism for performing poorly, then why should anyone be offended by it? Why are you?

    Offended?

    What a stupid ****en response, lmao. How are the Americans doing at LHW and CW, HW, SMW and WW and JWW and LW and SFW and FW? Who gives a ****.

    How are the Europeans and Filipinos doing in those divisions? I'll tell you how they're doing. Who gives a ****!

    I understand free speech, but geez.

    Yes offended. You call someone out for not being a boxingfan because he points out the place where it hurts.
    You definitely do calling him out on it.
    Would you have done so if he talked about Europeans losing more and more ground at the midget weights?

    Thanks for the defense Robney. So I guess according to Blizzy because I like boxers from all over the planet every little nook and cranny of it, and don't kiss the ass of my own country when we're are underperforming, I'm not a real boxing fan.....Yeah ...Okay ....that's great logic.:lol:

    I don't comment one way or another about any part of the world against another and nor do I make comparisons in that manner either. That's what insecure people like you and your buddy do which is why you post about it.:lol: Everyone has their time to reign.
