    In fact a lot of the "german" fighters are actually eastern europeans who have changed their names

    Marco Huck
    Robert Stieglitz champion until very recently
    Same with Arthur Abraham and Felix Sturm

    face it. eastern fighters have been on the up and up recently. and there are a lot of new prospects.

    Marco Huck is from Serbia. It was never a part of the Sovjet Union and Felix Sturm is German. Born and raised here.

    Out of the K bros and GGG i dont see a top Eastern European Boxer.

    If I'm not mistaken, Mao banned boxing for being "too Western" during the Cultural Revolution. They've only resumed boxing since the 80s or so; starting from nothing to having Olympic medalists in ~30 years is an accomplishment in itself. Doesn't hurt that you have a gigantic pool of athletes from which to choose.

    shimming zou is huge in china, real celebrity, the money he makes off his fame is enough for him not to go anywhere near the pros..

    It is considered a dishonorable way of making a living and highly discouraged by society, if not the government.

    Honestly, with the way America is going, I wouldn't be surprised to see it banned here sometime during my lifetime.

    A lot of it is to do with culture and what people are brought up into and what they want to strive for.
    Thats why figures like Khan can be mad influential. Many young ****s now will be interested in boxing and youngsters may take it up and a new pool of talent awaits for ****stanis..

    It can just take one superstar in a sport to have an entire demographic spark up and create new champions
