    How is this possible though? How are Euro-bums better than American hype jobs? :?

    That's just the way the universe works my friend.

    Plus there is no American version of Herbzg to pimp American fighters......and that really tips the scale in favour of the Euro-level brigade.

    Relentless could probably answer this question better than I can, (I have a hangover you see) but he is banned sadly.

    So for now, you'll just have to take my word for it when I say..............Euro-level is the way forward! And the sooner you accept that, the sooner you can move on with your mediocre American level life, and grow to learn the ways of the Euro.

    explain what you mean? some Euro level fighters are better then americans, best example is the heavyweight division. As long as you see good boxers and good fights what does it matter where they are from?

    Oh and I consider Cunningham to be Euro-level.

    He belongs to us now.

    there is euro-level, american-level, and then world class level.

    they are three different levels.

    you have world level and then below that you have euro/american

    This ain't a draft! Maybe back in the day when Ricky still fought. But we'd need 2 of Prime Rickys and there's only one.:bart

    That sort of general statement cant be made, its an indiviual fighter by fighter basis. That said rightly or wrongly winning a European title does give a solid world ranking in most cases. Does the same apply for domestic US titles?

    Tho feel some of recent Euro title fights have devauled the title.

    What's with your stupid patriotism? Boxing is a global sport for barely 20 years with east block fighters starting to catch up to US boxers - why should US level be above Euro level then when it's humans fighting on both sides?

    Europe is a big place with a LOT of pros and becoming euro champ is an under-rated accomplishment if anything

    Euro-level is what all fighters seek to achieve, and this is common knowledge. Always has been. Wilde, Cerdan, Viacheslav Senchenko, SNV...It's the gold standard.
