    Arthur Abraham- Armenian

    I don't have a problem with it. They are born and raised there. Both countries can get credit for them.

    Just like Mexican-Americans who rep both countries.

    Ottke was their last champion, that say's a lot for their native talent and why they have to cheer on guys like Wlad or Huck.

    It must be strange for Stieglitz and Abraham standing under the German national anthem and flag under stage names used to make them more marketable.

    "Fritz Mayweather" Hahaha! That ****'s pretty funny. It's kinda strange now that u mention it. Didn't Nazis claim that Germans were genetically superior to every other race?

    Simply a case of immigrants filling a niche in a wealthy country. Does anyone know Stieglitz story?

    Age when he immigrated

    Did he start boxing in Russia

    Do they Germanic-size names of all immigrants or is this simply to palatize a name for consumer purposes, like with Abraham and Sturm ect..

    But most of them live in Germany since they were children. That's like saying the USA has no great boxers since all of them are african

    Germany is like the US of Europe. They have a huge immigrant population. Oktay ural, Selcuk aydin and samil Sam are all Turkish German boxers. Arthur abraham karo Murat are Armenian for example
