    Because those dudes survived the russian cold winters years after years. They are not so pathetic pussies like Wilder who lives in nice warm florida beach 24/7.

    Winter surviving made those dudes mentally tough and gave them the power. STFU you all boxers who live in nice warm area. Winter is for the real fighters.

    U could argue they are 0-1 combined against elite opposition so not sure how their climate comes into it

    Hmmm don't they all share long amateur careers as well learning the ropes,I mean Golovkins twin brother couldn't go to the Olympics as only one could compete in that weight class,and you know the scary thing GGG admits he was better than himself lol,genetics I guess?

    Hmmm.. It's only a matter of time before somebody mention PED..
    For the record, that is not what I thought except for the povetkin's case.

    Yup, Wilder fought on with a broken hand, torn ligaments and muscles and yet continued to punch with the arm and seek a knockout instead of coasting. What a soft POS.

    And again, yes... Winters just make better fighters... period.

    Brilliant use of logic and reason here.

    It would have been more impressive if he wasn't fighting some fat unfit slob who had no right to be fighting for the WBC title...

    Doesn't really change that the guy continued punching with a hand and arm that was in ridiculously bad and painful shape. Not really something 'soft' people do.

    So why is Postol, Sharbanskyy,and Troyanovsky so weak and fragile? They got their chins checked by men of hot weathered African descent
