    Abraham is the same kind of boxer though. Turtle in a shell, when faced with a faster, more skilled opponent and that´s exactly what Proksa is. I know he has to clear some intermediate hurdles, to get ready for the likes of Martinez, but his future is bright.

    It has happend really. It has been even playing ground for a while now

    HW - all world titles owned by Europeans

    CW - Cunningham was only ever rated as the top man because Haye and Adamek moved up and split 2 fight with Wlod, Huck is WBO champ (European), Wlodarczyk WBC champ (European),

    SMW - WBO champ (European), WBA Regular champ (European), WBA INT champ (European), IBF champ (European), WBC champ (European), WBC champ emeritus (European), Only the WBA Super champ is not European.

    MW - WBA Super champ (European), WBA Regular champ (European), WBO champ (European)


    For a long time the top SMWs were European. The only reason the top LHW is American is because the European fighter that beat him retired.

    It is an even playing field. People are people and all can compete no matter who they are or where they are from. Its just without sounding sarcastic that many American dont rate fighters if they arent known to Americans or if they dont fight out of America. In Europe we tend to follow all fighters from all over the world and arent as insulated to just fighters from our own country.
    Last night with Barker was an example. You had a fighter unknown to America who was able to compete with Martinez for 10 rounds when fighters like Williams who were heavily hyped got blown away. Not a fair example and not meant for the backlash it will probably get, but Its a point that good fighters come from all over the world

    Damn, he crushed Sylvester and performed infinitely better than Sturm or Geale. If he can keep up the pace for 10 or even 12 rounds then this guy is the real deal.

    Proksa is young and has a lot ahead of him. I look forward to seeing him develop even more. The most essential skills are there, now just have to polish :)yep) everything up.

    Proksa is coming.:deal

    Do you ever get tired of your USA vs Europe jock-rocking, you knob?

    Williams got blown away? He beat Martinez the first time around... or hadn't you heard??

    Stop being so sensitive wimp.
    There is nothing wrong with me saying people from all different countries can compete equally. Sorry that upsets you.
    Williams debateably won the first fight being given the benefit of a KD to the back of Martinezs head. But that fight was at LMW not MW and when they did fight at MW, Williams had all kinds of stipulations.
    Now I said what I used wasnt a fair example as I know that just because a heavily hyped fighter got blown away doesnt mean that would happen all the time. R Duran is an example of that. What it did show was that just because Barker was unknown to America, didnt mean he was there to be blown out quickly. I dont think Barkers the best in Europe but many wont be as lucky as him to get a shot

    what a nice beating, very unorthodox, timed sylvester well and made him miss and landed awkward but effective blows of his own

    the new guard at middle is looking good, great fights to come

    i mean this guy, lemiuex, kirkland, golovkin, pirog, macklin, njikam, lee can all make great fights vs eachother

    Reppin501 rather see skill and slickness than a good fight. He was probably one of the 900 fans that paid and went to go see Quintana vs Berto. He also saw Proksa get hit slightly and realized it was too much entertainment, so he decided he sucked.
