But they are champions, no?:huh They won their belts off of someone , the opportunity to skip levels was not given like it was to Lomachenko and Golovkin never beat a real champion ever after 35 fights. Where did that IBO and WBA belt come from for him?:huh
Are you kidding? What about all of those European champions from the U.K.? Why are they not included in your rant? Are they not white enough for you or something? This is some diSrespectful **** to guys who really blazed a trail to get AMERICANS TO NOTICE FIGHTERS FROM OVER SEAS!!!!:twisted: Maybe all the Soviet guys who could fight during this time played soccer and hockey instead because the money was faster. Did you ever think of that phaggot? Look at the NHL, it's not just Canadians and guys from Minnesota.
