    You might be right about Arreola, but one upside is that he came in at 250 (decent for Arreola)in his last fight desite only being with Shields 2 weeks... I actually thought his fight with Arreola was razor close..... I respect Adamek and give him major props for winning at LH and Cruiser... Im just not impressed with him at HW.... If he is cometetive with Vitali or Wlad i will be very suprised.

    Honestly I hope that Arreola gets into good shape (say 220s) and makes a good run for the top, he's a really fun fighter to watch, but Adamek is a better boxer and fighter to me.

    Absolutely NOT true at all. And Bob Arum who I normally do not quote, actually pays good money for his PR firm to give him the numbers on things such as this.

    Blacks like whites in America will follow a fighter if they are the best of the best. That is the definition of a casual "easy come-easy go" fan.

    But they don't follow the sport in any large numbers. That is why pretty good black fighters HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO FOLLOWING!

    I was working out of a station that was 99.9% black (no exaggeration) and less than 5% knew anything about the sport as it existed currently. They didn't know fighters, they didn't know the champs, NOTHING!

    Russia and Soviet are not synonyms. Do you mean former Soviet Asians? My point is that Central Asians genetically are different from far east Asians and you will see alot more MW-HW fighters from those countries.

    Well most people in General arent boxing fans.... Even most Mexicans arent fight fans, and generally we are knowns as big fight fans compared to others Whites,Blacks,Asians etc etc.

    What im saying is % wise Blacks are more into boxing than Whites, and its not even close.. Through work,School and daily life in general i have met more knowledgeable black fans.. Despite knowing more whites..... Rarely meet white fans .. where as most blacks i know have some kind of opinion on the fights.

    Yes they use to be Russians so same ****....

    If they broke up the South,West Coast,Mid West and East Coast in the US... 20 years later people from all over the world would still refer to us Americans or these parts as areas of the former USA.

    I was high on Chazz Witherspoon for a few years. Definitely not a world beater anymore, but HAD potential. Wish he would focus on the sport for a while, he is still young, has SOME decent wins, and if properly dedicated and trained, he could become a champ in 4 years when Wlad and Vitali are retired.
