    Ruiz wasn't even arguably the best heavyweight. That's why Roy Jones went after him.

    Point of order: Anthony Joshua is mixed race too. He has Irish blood in him (at the very least).

    But the point I was making has nothing to do with Joshua, Haye or Fury.

    The point I was making is that the advent of Eastern Europeans in heavyweight boxing has as much to do with elite black American heavyweight athletes choosing other sports as it does the end of the Cold War.

    You are asserting that these European tin cans (which the vast majority are) have risen to their recent prominence at the expense of black american fighters who have dominated the sport for 150 years at heavyweight.

    This is utter baloney. These Eastern European robots (for the most part) couldn't carry the great black American's heavyweights' jock straps.

    They are simply filling a void.

    Edit
    Should add that I hadnt noticed this comment from you earlier.
    Self pwnage from you there :lol:
    Whats nationalistic about that? Its you who has the issue but claims not to be nationalistic for some reason? :lol::oops::patsch

    I think potentially the 3 best HWs in the world are UK based HWs and when you consider how few HWs are in Britain, think it is impressive. Not sure why that upsets you :think

    Keep not asserting anything, boy. And if you wish to assert something in the future I suggest you ask my permission first.

    It had to happen eventually. They sort of sucked for a hundred years at the sport they pioneered in the 18th and 19th centuries. Although, it was probably soccer and cricket keeping their best athletes out of the ring for most of the twentieth century.

    Yeah, it had nothing to do with white British heavyweights being $h1t and Britain only getting a sniff at the heavyweight crown after WW2 when we started importing black Caribbeans.
