1. The vast majority of NFL players are in the 210-260 pound range. Also, most of the NBA players are around that weight. I know it's mindboggling to have more than one sport and league, but work with me. 2. American ghettos are filled with either welfare recipients or punks with guns; often both. What are lacking are the kids with enough balls to fistfight and a work ethic. Unfortunately being a rapper or shooting a 3 requires so less work than boxing that this generation doesn't look at it. 3. Parents let their kids turn into fat pieces of **** by feeding them fast food and giving them video games instead of cooking dinner and spending time with them. When prosperity hits Eastern Europe, obesity will follow. 4. Most of this generation of boxers from Eastern Europe were born and raised under communism and/or poverty. In two to three generations, the kids will want to play sissy sports like soccer and basketball rather than get hit in the face.
Wlad was not in his prime whe he fought Sanders, Purity, Brewster! Ali was not is his prime when he fought Holmes! + have you seen the Peter fight! Boring as hell, but Wlad came up from the floor 3 times, after being hit by rabid shots! Dont act dumb(if you're not relly dumb)! You look at Wlads career, when he wasnt in his prime, but only look at your own fighters in their prime! Thats idiotic double standard!
If it wasn't for America there would be no boxing, you get two dominate but boring and unpopular fighters in the Klitschko bros. and now Euro-Level Heavyweights are World Class i think not, no one cares about European Boxers but Europeans, sadly for you guys when it comes to American Boxers you guys will always be out-numbered as far as popularity and skill goes so your opinions are obsolete.
Yeah, well even if he wasn't in his prime he should still be able to beat average fighters like those guys. :tong
1. Yeah, with about 50% body fat! Your HWs are in better shape than your NFL players! 2. It may be true, but in europe, eastern europe, oceania, to be a fighter as a profesion is a SHAME, because it means you're not smart enough to have a decent job 3. I'll give you that, but that doesnt mean, that past, a lot smaller ATGs can defeat the K2s. they cant 4. no they weren't! They had lack of opportunity to start businesses, to openly diss their political leaders, but they were never starving! Dont compare comunist europe to gheto america! Its not the same! Not by a longshot! America didn't lose its sport dominance, because of social issues, or protein overdose! They lost their dominance, because boxing went global, competition stiffend! instead of taking it to another level, thay gave up, gave in to hungrier fighters, people had to realise, that american dominance is only a myth so instead of dealing with it, the fans started looking for excuses! BUL**** IDIOTIC EXCUSES!
By your logic: Ali was an ATG! An ATG should have KOd a LHW, with 6 pro fights, like Spinks, right! Oh, wait! No he didnt! He wasnt in his prime! But do we judge Ali based on his fights with Spinks?? No! We Judge him based on his consistent preformance aggainst big name fighters, WHEN HE WAS IN HIS PRImE!
Nope. That's not my logic at all. Ali is a totally different case because he's from a different cloth and different class compared to a guy like Klitschko.
in your fanboy little head! Come back and we'll have a real debate whe you can tell the difference between hype and skill! I love(no homo) Ali! He is the GOAT (in my book) in terms of accomplishment in the sport! H2H, due to physical limitations(height, physical strenght, punching power) he is only about 3rd!
