Its not just the heavyweights.

Just seeing this confirms it.

no because the amateur system in the US is crap.

 

Take away the Klitsckos and the Eastern Europeans suck. Chagaev is average. Povetkin only beat Eddie ****ing Chambers because he outworked him but was getting schooled in the early half of the fight and who else err Valuev lol?



There will be another American champion. No doubt in my mind. Probably when the Klits retire, boxing at heavyweight will have reached its lowest talent level ever and I dont doubt winning a strap wll be insanely easy.


Like I said if Eastern euros are so good at boxing, why isnt it transfering at the lower weights why did Andre Dirrell box circles around Abraham like he was caught in mud? Why couldnt adamek beat Chad Dawson? Why does Sturm hide in Germany?

 

Of course they can, life is full of ups and downs and so are boxing divisions, have been in the past and will be in the future at times too, but i will admit this batch of american heavys recently is particularly down!!

 

Its a myth that Eastern Euro fighters would have dominated if they were allowed to turn pro. The young American fighters often took part in the Olympics were eastern euro fighter were allowed to compete often with more experince. Patterson, Rademacher, Ali, Frazier, Foreman, the Spinks brothers, Tillman, Tyrell Briggs all won gold medals and Holyfield could have but got a DQ and only won bronze and Bowe got a silver medal. No doubt eastern euro fighters would have added to the strength of a division but the top American fighters would still have been at or near the top.

 

Why have the top 7 american fighters combined had less fights than ricky hatton (uk) alone outside the usa?

 

audley harrison won gold.....olympics dont mean ****

Exactly I remember George Foreman smoking some Eastern Euro in the olympics. He looked like someones fat uncle. And thats the type of guy that would have beaten the Ali's and Holmes?

 

americans....still living in the past, your time as a super power in the world and in boxing is over, get over it

 

Atleast I got to live to see my countries time. When you were born your country was an insignificant island, with no major accomplishments in sports, and when you die, your country will still be an insignficant island with no accomplishments in sports.

 

The heavy weight division and boxing in general need to re-gain popularity in the US. More excittement is needed in general and hopefully it starts to happen. Alot of people don`t follow boxing at all in North America not sure what else can be done to bring it back.

 

Foreman just got lucky, the guy he beat had hand injurys, and was well past his prime....

 

haha, i live in a country which according to japanese reseacrch is the most influental in history in terms of inventions and usefulness in everyday life. No major accomplishments in sports? Did we not win the rugby world cup a few years ago...thats a world cup (all countries) not like a world series...one country. Greatest hw of my era...a brit. You do realise 'americas pastime' (baseball)....was invented in england dont you? We wont even go into the language you are speaking
