    Well, looks that still depends who you fight with.
    Cunningham had fought vs pole in Poland and Germany, he had won rematch via decision.
    DM was pole not german.:)
    Sturm and Ottke were germans. They did not had gave Sturm for GGG to fight with, ofc cos vs prime GGG he not likely had walked till cards.
    Huck too more fought in Germany than in other countries and was good tickets seller.
    Still there was possible to win vs Huck on cards.


    It depends, DM was not Ottke.:nonono

    I read your post and I repeat that you know EXACTLY what I mean. Still, I have not said anything. You just know. There's a reason for that. It's not that you were born and suddenly you knew what fighting your whole career in germany in the 90s means. You learnt it somehow.

    And I wont say this or that about canelo vs darius. Canelo could win? dairus could win? I dont care. I'm just stating a fact. And the fact is that everybody knows what does it mean.

    Lmao jesus christ Canelos team has fooled a lot of you. Kovalev Canelo was a a fixed fight sparring session.. Canelo would have been absolutely demolished if Kovalev actually sat down on any of his punches and actually tried to win. Even the older Kovalev would have KOd Canelo. Canelo would get beat by most if not all top LHWs

    Let me see if I have understood right.

    So, since you, kovalev fight was a sparring session. Not only that, but it was a fixed sparring session. And kovalev went into the ring to let canelo smash his head for money and on purpose. And not only he never had the intention to win, but he went there to receive a beating on purpose. And had kovalev wanted to win, he would have won, but he just didnt want to.

    That's what you have said, right?

    Well, country name does not matters, everyone knows what difference if between tickets sellers and away corner guys, prospects and lads they feed to them fight with etc.
    All this is pro boxing reality.

    Some fights in Germany ofc were damn notable, when guy did absolutely nothing and mainly running all rounds and still get decision win.
    Ofc also some :pjudges were notorious but US too does have such specimens with amazing scorecards.

    DM wasn't in such laughable fights, they had some other boxers where yeah, some cards were shocking surprise.

    Kovalev had been almost finished by Yarde and already had been brutally beated up by Eleider in impressive manner.
    No wonder that Canelo landed on him, wonder is that Kovalev walked so long there.

    That I agree with you on that. BUT remember pro boxing is a business.
    Legacy doesn't pay the bills at the end of the day.

    go to the US and fighters get their career defining fights.

    but you're missing the point.
    sturm just got handed a plum headline act in the US against oscar de la hoya.
    he got a free ticket onto the world stage, and he reacted by taking the first plane back to germany and was never heard from again.

    Like Fury going to Germany to face Klitschko?
    So if Fury and Joshua don't fight in America it won't be their career defining fight? This is why you are ESBs most pwned poster

    Again

    Did Roy say he was wanting to travel to face the champ?
    DM put adds in magazines calling Jones out. Recall seeing them. Show me where Jones was calling DM out

    there are always exceptions to the rule, but if a fighter establishes himself in the US and garners the interest of the networks, he gets career-defining fights.
    hell, jeff horn got pacman to come here to oz!
    i never would have bet on that.

    putting ads in a magazine doesn't get this to happen.
