    Roman ''Made In Hell'' Karmazin had a style which I find very pleasing on the eye. Got robbed against Cory Spinks

    Finally! According to boxrec SNV is in top 20 HW all time.
    Not sure which criteria they use...

    [url]Gaydarbek Gaydarbekov[/url] might have been the best Russian boxer of all time, had he fought in the pros between 1996 and 2010.

    He fought from Flyweight at age 19 to Middleweight (winning Gold at the 2004 Olympics).

    He beat virtually everybody in the amateurs, including Gennady Golovkin, Hassan N'jikam, Jermaine Taylor, Zsolt Erdei, Jeff Lacy (by KO), etc.

    Povetkin and Nico Valuev at least deserve an honorable mention.

    Tsyzu is an Australian citizen but Russian born and bred, I didn't know Peter Fitsimmons was a boxer :risas3:. Your top 3 is pretty universally agreed though, I would have thought.

    I still think Balboa loaded his gloves in that fight.

    He certainly would feature in a 'gayest name for a boxer' list.

    Without his russian schooling, he wouldn't have become the pro that he did.

    Probably shouldn't leave out Jimmy Carruthers either, he won the 'real' title.
