    Ruslan Chagaev, who I believe is 3/4 Russian, deserves a mention.

    And Golota does not so much.

    It's supposed to be Slavic but it seems like alot of people are confused on what a Slavic is. A couple minutes of research is all it takes.

    Yep Agreed I have some Hungarian, Czech, Polish, German, Ukrainian, Russian among other nationalities friends in my old unit and we had a lot of fun sitting around messing with each other making fun of accents etc.......these nationalities are sometimes ethnicities and sometimes they are from other areas.....One friend was Russian nationality but of N. Italian stock of Germanic people not the Mediterranean of the South, Czechs are their own group the Hungarians are their own group though they share the Finno-Ugric family of languages they consider themselves a separate group, Estonians, Latvians and Lithuanians are heavily influenced by the Germanic Vikings and consider themselves ancestors of the Volga Vikings.....Estonian language is closely related to the Finnish language and mutually intelligible...Ethnicity is cultural Nationality is arbitrary borders....

    So the Question must be then are we talking genetic like George Chuvalo or anyone who was raised and lived in a ethnic Slavic country?

    Not sure we'd here your going with this as usual with you as you tend to be all over the place. The only thing the Finns and Magyars share and I said Magyars because that is the race of people living in Hungary and are considered Hungarians share with the Finns is the Finno Ugric language although not nearly enough to understand each other. While the Finns and Estonians do!. Stop coming off like you know something when in actuality its speculation like I already said and you dont know s@@@! You just like to come off in your usual know it all extremely arrogant manner yet all you know is fantasy and no facts because there are no proven scientific studies to this day that can link Finns with Magyars. NONE!

    Both deserve a mention. There haven't been that many successful Slavic heavyweights. Both of the guys you mention are among the minority.

    Hungarians are Magyars, not Slavs.

    Ability to be one of the few SHWs that could bob n weave and chop hooks to the body.

    At least Golota's uppercuts hit the opponent and not his own face..LOL!!!!

    OMG why do I even engage with you anymore. For the last time. Besides sharing a Finno Ugric language there as re no Genial similarities between Huns and Finns. Only between Finns and Estonians. Its proven scientific fact. Nothing your speaking about is based on concrete scientific fact. You once again try an come off as being relevant but as usual all your so called facts are irrelevant based on myths and folklore. I have tried to be nice and patient with you in the past but this is it. You are so smug and condescending even though your answers here are based on fantasy. I cant stand you. I'm so tired of your stupid made up fantasy island bull s### that you constantly spew. Like I said man I'm part Hungarian. I've studied my history. Talked to old timers . Separated the fact from fiction. All your spewing if fiction. Your an idiot if you want to believe these theories that are made up in your own head than go ahead.
    I should have know not to get involved with you about this in the first place as theres clearly something wrong with you and has been for many yrs. So why dont you just @@@@ off now and spew your fake made up crap to someone who knows even less than you if you want an audience. Good bye. Good riddance. Go get professional help.
