    Really? I don't think Pac surpasses Ray Leonard, let alone Robinson. And you know, Ali over Tyson and let's be honest, Ali over both K bros easily.

    But on topic, yeah, Europe is doing nicely for itself with a few exceptions here and there.

    They have def become a major player in boxing that is without a doubt. However, the US still leads all countries (barely) in how many fighters they have in the top 10 p4p... with 3, then comes phillipines and ukraine both with 2.

    1 cuba (rigo & gamboa got out of cuba and they beat anybody, think every high profile cuban amateur boxer would turn pro, they would rule)

    2 usa

    3 europe

    4 phillipines (based on pacquiao & donaire alone =)

    5 mexico (barrera and morales, also marquez seem at the end of their careers, only canelo looking like an star)

    I don't give a **** about this discussion as a whole but just tell me why do you considered Martinez an American. He's Argentinian that boxed in Spain at the beginning of his career

    Western Europe needs to stop riding Eastern Europe's coattails.

    :deal:good PetethePrince wont propably even understand what you mean:rofl

    There really is not such a thing original American. but American Indians which were to destroyed at the edge of extinction by PetethePrince's grand grand fathers. Today's Americans are from Europe, African, Asian all over the place. American is very dispersed country and they dont have their own precious identity.

    But yeah, boxing will be hold in hands and europeans and Mexicans of course.

    Look at the two of the most precious Weight divisions historywise. Hw-division and middleweight division.

    europe is pathetic, they dont have a single fighter in the top 5 p4p. the klitschkos are nothing but creations of the soviet union, after theyre gone europe is dead. if chisora is british then nonito is american btw.

    USTV has been showing so many sick fights such as Malik Scott Vs. Releford. Releford had one weeks notice, did not even have a trainer in his corner, just he father and wife! Very boring fight. Other fights are some undefeated fighter fighting a wino from the alley!
