Ignore the Euro-Troll who doesn't understand things in the States.

The fact is are biggest and best athletes are not groomed to be boxers. Occasionally you get a guy who starts late after tearing up his knee in basketball or football, and does okay at boxing.. but they've usually been damaged by the time they start... they aren't peak.

What's bull**** is your failure to wrap your brain around the context of Teddy and Kenny's statement. You completely missed the point yet at the same time expounded on their thesis.

Allow me to simplify things for the mentally handicapped: an athletically gifted American heavyweight with undiscovered boxing talent (you said it yourself "those born to fight") is in all practical purposes playing in the NFL or the NBA.

Athletically gifted youth in America are identified at an early age and groomed for football and basketball, not boxing.

Do you get it now?

You make no sense. The point is that for every one NFL player you see on the field X number of players dedicated themselves and sucked. For every DOMINANT player you see on the field X * Y players dedicated themselves. It has depleted the American talent pool at higher weights.

Please point out a POPULAR and well paid Euro sport where it is regular for men that are 230 lbs to play and size is the deciding factor. You can't. If you can it isn't recent.

The NFL and NBA have killed American HW boxing.
