America needs a Shift in mentality to dominate the heavyweight scene once again

I think we will see a heavyweight champion in the not to distant future. Klitschko 1 and 2 wont be around forever and I predict that Wlad will be embarrassed and brutally crushed when he losses the championship and is retired probably by a guy who will be a lot shorter and a huge underdog.

 

Wow, another jingoistic american, what a surprise :nut

 

Of course I can. It takes a special mentality to endter a sport in which participants have been brain damged and killed on a fairly routine basis, and Americans just don't have that kind of mentailty anymore. It has nothing to do with basketball or football- every basketball player and almost every football player who ahd ever entered the sport has embarrassed himself.

 

Many (outside of the US) think that the US only dominates those sports because they are relatively small sports in most other countries!

Soccer is by far the worlds biggest sport and ALL the boys in 95% of the worlds countries play soccer from small, through school etc. If they can make it there they will.

Then there is Badminton, Table tennis (huge in Asia), Handball (huge in most of Europe), Cricket and Aussie Rules (huge in Oceania etc.) and so on.

Baseball?.. noone outside of the US plays Baseball at all.

American Football??? ... noone plays American Football either.

Basketball is the only one of them where they are some countries that play it at a reasonable level, but still it is far down the list. For example, Spain has a Basket league... but noone in Spain really cares about Basketball and Soccer is 99.99% of the press.. with basketball perhaps 0.0000001% coverage at best.

 

I like both the NFL and the NBA. With that said, I think you jumped the gun there because when those athletes retire, the majority of them are frustrated and broke after a while. :deal

 

:deal

Unfotunately, most americans either can't, or don't want to understand this.

 

I really don't see many men's netball and rounders players being Heavyweight Champion of the World material.

 

Like jingoistic only refers to what you think of american foreign policy atsch I don't know why I bother with ******s.

Huh, yes it has. You act like USA is the only country that has other sports apart from boxing in which athletes can participate. Well, other countries have other sports too, you see.
