Izu Ugunoh the best Polish heavyweight prospect since Andrew Golota?

So, are you telling us every Polish person can trace their family ancestors back to some "original Polish" Adam and Eve or something like that ?
Or don't you think perhaps, just maybe, over the last thousand years or more, people from lots of other places have come to Poland and become assimilated into the Polish nation ?
And at the same time the Polish nation has evolved and developed too ?

Seeing as the area that is modern Poland has in fact been part of several different kingdoms, states and empires over the course of history, the idea that every Pole is in fact descended from Poles back to prehistoric times or something is unrealistic.

In fact, the uncomfortable truth for many people who cling to racial myths is that modern nations and ethnic groups and languages can't actually be traced back far at all before they appear as foreign and alien cultures, and in fact almost all ethnic groups have emerged out of political alliances and mergings of different ethnic groups.
For example, English racial nationalists often go on about "Anglo Saxon" culture, but if someone came up to them speaking Anglo-Saxon or even Old English or Middle English they were assumed the person was a "dirty foreigner".

So, seeing as all nations and ethnic groups and languages developed and evolved in every century back thousands of years, why is it that people want to invent a version of history where ethnic groups and nations are fixed and unchangeable ?
It makes no sense. It's just an invented superstition.

 

Wtf is this thread about, I can't even... Of cours Izu is Polish. He was born here, raised here, schooled here. Yes, his parents are from Nigeria, but they relocated & raised their children Polish. Izu speaks betters Polish than Golota, Szpilka & other guys combined. He graduated Polish university, his sister won Polish edition of Top Model... This is pointless and plain stupid.

As to his boxing, it's all a mystery to me at this point. Kevin Barry seems high on his skills, but his toughest bouts (journeymen Rusiewicz at CW & freak Long in HW) proved there are many holes in his game. He is a good learner & makes fast progress, so I can't wait to see his fight with Breazeale. That's a decent test that will determine his future. I'm certain he can win this fight.

 

Pretty much.

 

Damn. One loss ruined him.

 

I suspect the old "personal demons"

 

anyway after all that. he was a glass jawed. shame.

 

I like Izu, he is a great boxer, always a pleasure to watch. Needs more stamina.

 

He's terrible

 

Unlike America and England, Poland is a very homogeneous country with 97% of the population being Polish.

 

and the rest are recent Ukrainian arrivals since their war happened.

 

How exactly is Izu terrible? Compared to everyone else in the division, what about Izu is so terrible?

 

Well he got beat up by Breazeale who is completely garbage his claim to fame his just lasting a few rounds against Joshua, and he just got destroyed by a novice in Rozanski who doesn't look like he has the ability to do anything. Izu has a bad chin, isn't a true fighting man he lacks heart, and was major HYPEJOB, he never had the ability to do anything it was all just hype, maybe people just bought into it because for the comedy factor of there being a black Polish heavyweight.

 

Some very ignorant people talking nonsense in this thread, how hard is it to distinguish between nationality and heritage? Embarrassing.

 

Well he got KO'd by Dominic Breazeale in 5 rounds, not a great look.
