    well, alot of americans are still stuck in the eightees when it comes to amateur/pro conceptions.

    alot of americans still think of european amateur stars who turn pro and fail.
    but that had more to do with the fact that most of the amateurs of eastern europe who turned pro were usually way past their prime to turn to pro boxing.
    or they simply had no pro boxing enviroment to turn to.

    but times have changed!!!!

    europe has developed pro boxing now ever since the iron curtain came down.
    not only are the top amateurs turning pro at the right time now, they have a perfect inviroment to turn pro in.

    look how fighters like povetkin, dzinziruk, abraham and all the other developed.
    germany may not have many great local fighters, but they have a perfect boxing infrastructure.
    they have all the money in the world.......the best trainers, the best physicians......the best sparring......just everything you need.

    anyone who still thinks you need a crappy ****ed up ghetto gym in the usa is living is "boxing clichee fantasy world".

    if you think "gym wars" are a good thing, then you are better off watching boxing movies instead of the real deal.:patsch

    and to see that golovkin is head and shoulders above someone like lee you dont need to look at his amateur accomplishments to know this.
    just watch him fight.

    Good to see Lee lived up to the hype and got that belt
     
  4. Haha so Lee was actually thought of as a good fighter & a talent! Like how he turned his career around & his fights are always entertaining come from behind affairs... Don't understand the hate the division gets! Golovkin & Lee are two quality champions for a division to have... Cotto just makes it look bad because he whoops on drained shells whilst avoiding the real challenges at 160! Sooner he's gone the better..

    Both Khytrov and Derevianchenko look good, though I may favor Quigley over both.
