    That just shows how silly Nationalism is, Northern Irish and Irish blew each other up for 80 years, based on religion and land. I'm sure your aware of the differences between Scotland and England.

    Once GGG was asked by a Russian journalist why doesn't he represent Russia if he has Russian blood. Golovkin got really pissed off by such a silly question and almost turned into a hulk mode lol.

    If those are all considered Russian fighters might as well throw Carl Froch on that list.

    Union of Soviet Socialist Republics is essentially the same as The United States of Russia.

    Just like the US the South broke away and declared itself its own country, the North wanted to force it to stay in the Union by force, the South didn't agree with the North in how it ran things, didn't like the laws, had a difference in cultural opinions, and don't want to associate with their perceived oppressors.

    Just like the US, New Yorkers are different from Floridians, who are different from Californians, and so on but we are all Americans.
    But we are ethnically and racially very diverse, thats not the case in former Soviet Republics most of the inhabitants are some form of Slavic and most Eastern Orthodox Christians, not alot of diversity, they grasp at straws and split hairs, to find reasons to hate each other, that's how human nature works.

    Also Froch's father is Polish German his grandpa was a Nazi, Poland has never been apart of Russia parts have but not the part Froch's family is from.

    I'd rate the 4 of them pretty high. They're pretty much recognized as the men to beat in their respective divisions and the lineal champions in each and everyone of them (minus Provo of course) are avoiding them like an incurable strain of yeast infection.

    Lomachenko is less Russian than Adonis Stevenson and Bermanne Stiverne are Canadian.

    GGG
    Kovalev
    Lomachenko









    Provodnikov

    GGG is better than Kovalev I think, but Kovalev is much more proven, with a better resume IMO. Lomachenko has a decent amount of ability and will give more good performances. Provodnikov will ALWAYS struggle with not so good opposition that fights a certain style.
