Yawn. That is directed at both your comments, and indicative of my reaction when watching a Klitschko fight. Oversized, boring heavyweights, beating lazy, fat, undersized heavyweights. I re-iterate...yawn.
For a lot of americans boxing = HW. They suck now and they just can't take it so the sport "dies". It's a FACT that americans only watch sports where they are the best. If they're not they will invent a new sport similar to the old one.
i have to agree and like with then gonalzez was the best 108 pounder, the usa cared about that weight class and when he was gone....so was the weightclass.... and if america produces the top heavyweight, he will be called the best heavyweight since holyfield and bowe.... boxing alive again.... its like americans like to point about the poor record of europeans in usa but always forget to mention, their poor record in europe
difference now is it is no longer the main financial market for boxing.haye,the kilts,pong,kameda don't need to go to the us to make big money
