The American heavyweight actually steps up and take the fight. They're not afraid to lose if it means they have a shot at glory. Same can't be said for some other nationalities... This content is protected This content is protected This content is protected Eddie Chambers, Tony Thompson, Shannon Briggs, Chris Arreola, Tomasz Adamek (he's U.S.-based ), all took the fight against the Klitschkos even though they were underdogs. :bbb The men actually had a pair of balls! They don't use their management to get out of fights, they don't use a man's hepatitis, they don't use arguments over PPV revenue, they didn't faint 30 minutes before a fight, they say as Kathy Duva said of the adopted Tomasz Adamek: "I had a fighter who said, 'This is what I want, please go out and get it.'"
The Klits are the only two who have done well. They even dominated their fellow Euros. WTF are you talking about?

There is a dude name Lionel Davis out of Cali. He is like 7-0-6KO, a heavyweight, who stands 6'7" and weighs a good weight for his height. What's his story, any one? Is he good, or is he padding his record? I believe he's got like 6 1st round KO's
Yeah, that non-eastern European heavyweights are bums! Will note the guy removed Arreola who is ranked 10th in the Ring rankings. It's because he's not counting Wlad as champ. There's nothing I find dumber than a Brit or Frenchman for example claiming a Ukrainian or Russian like "he's one of us" and use them to rub it in when they're currently throwing the 2nd-best Brit at the moment under a bus saying he's a can and the 4th-best Brit is probably Audley Harrison. At least the guys we adopt live here, train here, and actually have ties to our country.
Its easy to dominate for a 100 years, when 99% of the fighters are american... The sport became international, expecially with the end of the cold war and competition became a lot tougher, america will never dominate like that again
