    Yeah but talking in reality and not p4p make-believe, every body that Wlad beat would bust up Canelo in a boxing match

    He is not ethnically Russian. A lot of people speak Russian. Just like if you speak English it doesn't make you an Anglo Saxon.

    Best fighters from what was the former Soviet Union in no particular order:

    Kostya Tszyu - Russia - World Amateur champ, Undisputed professional champ
    GGG - Kazakhstan - World Amateur champ, Olympic silver, Long-time Middleweight champ
    Wlad - Ukraine - Olympic gold, Long-time Heavyweight champ
    Vic Darchinyan - Armenia - Undisputed professional champ
    Loma - Ukraine - 2 Olympic golds, 2 World Amateur championships, 3-weight division professional champ
    Usyk - Ukraine - Olympic gold, World Amateur champ, Undisputed professional champ

    A country like Kazakhstan is considered more Asian than Eastern-European these days. Same with Uzbekistan.

    It's laughable to compare wladimir with gg. Wladimir is an atg in his weight, 10 years in a row champion of the world, a living legend.

    Little gigi is a tomato can opener who only fought one decent fighter in his life, and lost.

    That's like say someone born in El Salvador is Spanish because they speak Spanish. People in Ghana speak French, are the French?

    He’s got Russian blood because his dad was Russian.

    No way. GGG never got KO'd three times. Wlad is great but that's a stain on his record.
