the idea that they generally hail from eastern europe is totally unsupported by fact. if anything, they come from places like south america, central america and the carribean.
Oh really. guys can not punch today. That was new to me. If you are disagreeing for example guys like Wlad, AA being ferocious punchers good luck with that. These are good example of famous fighters of today who are truely great punchers. I am not talking about them being anything one of a kind bangers but Good, memorable punchers of this era. And these Eastern European guys at Cruiser, most of them can bang pretty good. Most of the guys especially from middleweight to higher divisions strikes me as good punchers if anything. They might looks slow and not the greatest boxers but as punchers, hell yeah. What TS said about Argentina I dont know.. I would say alot of countries at South America over all has good punchers, Argentina, Colombia for example. Colombia has 3 guys at middle-s.middle, Edison Miranda, Dionision Miranda, and Alejandro Berrio who all could hit like a mule. And I am not going to fuk reindeer, you arrogant ****.:good
I doubt nobody is denying them being great punchers or alot of other americans Pimp... But guys who are now fighting and how do we boxing fans see them. There are whole lot of boxers for example from Eastern Europe who looks like a good bangers to me.
Two of the hardest hitting fighters of all time (Fitz and Wilde) were both British. Only Sam Langford challenges these two IMO
Skill levels & technique have regressed since the 80s/90s, thats why there arent as many good punchers around today & no great ones. The evidence is clear to see for anyone with eyes & access to youtube my reindeer-molesting friend. [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FYKH5S93hT0&feature=related[/ame]
Goulash is Hungarian. Again your knowledge on anything which extends outside the borders of America is on display.
Heavy hitters come from all over the world, P4P I have to add because some countries almost the entire population consists of tiny people. What's clear though is that nowadays the situation is a lot different as before the Iron Curtain (and Communism) fell. The western countries no longer have the realm for themselves, and suddenly heavy hitters come from those countries too. Who probably always had them, but they didn't box professional. So coming up with biggest hitter lists from before that time doesn't really say that much.
Anything beyond Iron Curtain is America :rofl I think Soviet geography books might be a little out of date compared to decadent western ones
He's from the UK then i guess. That only makes his goulash comment more facepalm worthy. Not to mention that my comments have been directed towards Argentinian fighters so a attempted ethnic slur, although failed due to his ignorance, is mildly puzzling. Wouldn't expect anything less from a Brit though.
