Mike Tyson gives his views why Eastern European boxers are so good .

SOB Ward is not P4P on anyone's list. He clearly lost to Kovalev, good thing he had his referee, judges, boxing commission, etc. Ward is a cheat and knows no other way...................boxing is a sport, not politics.

Euro fighters are hungrier than US fighters, most, such as the Klitschkos do not take drugs, drink alcohol, and the work very hard. Lomachenko is the most skilled fighter in the world today and his father is a really great trainer..............Tyson is a boxing historian, he and Cus used to watch boxing films all the time, Tyson knows his stuff...........

 

Good piece. He speaks very articulately about a subject he knows and understands well. Been a fool, but is not an idiot.

 

Eastern European boxers usually have more discipline, great amateur career, they have good ethics, they obey the rules and they are much hungrier!!!

 

stop being so negative.. ur a rat piece a'

tyson is eloquent

edit: i swear from reading these posts on this thread, some of you have been punched harder and more frequently than tyson has in his life.

thanks for the interesting links. i liked his take on the fury-klitschko fight.

 

In the US the Irish, Jews and Italians stopped going in the gyms. That's why another Dempsey, Baer or Marciano never came along. AA blacks are also less in the gyms now so East Europeans have filled the space, and of course Brit based fighters and Latinos.

 

Tyson was a mentor of sorts to Sultan Ibragimov.

 

hahahah the demos cant take it they are ruling

Joe smith is the best American fighter though

 

I think Terrance Crawford is the best American fighter but don't mind me, I don't know what I'm talking about.
