I just looked up the olympic gold medalists in the heavyweight division. Only 1 since 1904 has been over eastern european extraction. Yeah some Iron curtain. More like a Lace curtain.:rofl
Talk about living in the past. Dont you see you are a small pathetic island with less boxing champions then Puerto Rico. What dont you get about that? The USA drew you in soccer lol.
Obviously yes, but the environment in America isn't very big on boxing right now. Let's let more Mexicans come over the border and see what happens though. :good The UK is no better than the US. You have a history of cultural and environmental **** that is the core of our ****ed up society.
this is a thread about hoping the US one day gets another hw champion and you're talking about me living in the past? remember...we have one! The USA drew us in football? and? we whooped you in the ryder cup last week
No and the reasons should be obvious. The HW has already fell of in the US and for some of the same reasons has pretty much fell off world wide.
Uhh that wasnt our discussion dumbass :rofl Nobody plays soccer in America. In the UK its the number 1 sport and we still drew you. Its the sole reason why Germany embarrassed your asses. :yep Europe vs USA and you beat us 13 1/2 to 14 1/2. Wow an entire continent against a country and you win by a point. Go look up what the USA vs Britain record was before you ran for help to the rest of Europe. You want me to point out olympic medals lol?
an entire continent? actually only 9 countries were represented...and they had a combined smaller population than the usa. nobody plays ''soccer'' in america....more people play it than in england...obviously you are a bigger country, but more people played in 2009 in a competitive game than played in england, so wrong again.
Of course, almost any country in the world with a healty percentage of big men is able to produce such a thing. And with the huge and ever growing population in the US it's merely a matter of time until the next big one arrives. It's the heart of the current AmeriCAN boxers that bothers me though. And the negative boxing styles based on defence instead of offence, that seems to be favored by US boxers nowadays. And yet they deliver better HW's
shall i post a picture of china...your daddies who own most of your debt? yes we are small....but we still have one more hw champ than you.
Because it's a given. The US produces great athletes due to a large population, and the means to play sports in general. It's the most powerful, wealthiest country in the world, where excelling in any mainstream sport results in millions of dollars for the athletes. Unlike many countries, sports here is an industry. We just keep churning the greats out. Golf, Basketball, Football, Hockey, Cycling, Swimming, Track and Field, Boxing, Tennis, MMA, etc etc etc will always have elite American athletes, more so than any country. It's the powerhouse of sports, that's just the way it is...Minus soccer
Can we not make this a pissing contest between countries? The question is simple. Will there be a next great American HW? History shows, it's inevitable.
history doesnt show that, history shows practically only one nation competing for one reason or another wether it be the mafia, the iron curtain or travelling obviously being a major obstacle 50 years ago
