    There are the future. They don't run. Their fights are exciting to watch.

    and they make no money. :lol:

    That's right. Only boring boxers like Mayweather, Ward, Hopkins and Froch make all the loot. :yep
    Rigo and Pac would make some too, as soon as they ditch Arum.

    Outside of the promoter and the network to be completely honest this new breed of Euro and foreign raised fighters are much better than their predecessors. They are exciting, tough and they actually will bring tough competition to most American fighters. Glad to see those Euros & Rooskies stepping their game up.

    There has become a strange fascination with any Eastern European fighter recently. Just look at how many posters there are on here who are obsessed with any and every Eastern European fighters, even though the posters are from nowhere near there

    People of high moral character gravitate towards the image of strong Eastern European males. Their discipline and work ethic go a long way towards garnering respect and they make far better role models for how to conduct oneself inside and out of a boxing ring.


    Try pointing you finger inward to locate the shortcomings of American fighters not at the select few who actually have standards of conduct and a moral compass.

    Mostly because they have proved willing to fight anybody...

    The black americans have less and less heart...Floyd, Adonis....ducking all the big fights the public demands.

    Its pretty sad that no one has mentioned this is happening because they are world class fighters and among the best in their divisions.

    What American MW or LHW is as good as GGG or Kovalev? They're top 3 in their division, arguably the best, and fight in a exciting style as a bonus why the hell wouldn't you sign them? Why haven't they been signing them prior to the last couple years? Regardless if they're from Kazakhstan, Argentina, Korea or wherever the boxing industry should support them and give us the best quality product possible.

    HBO shows 5 or 6 fighters from Eastern Europe and people resent it wtf.
