The argument that American Heavies are "in other sports"

you can have all the athleticism in the world. but if you don't have the balls to get in the ring and fight, forget it. Boxers are special unique people. We saw how Ed Too Tall Jones and Mark Gastineau fared in the ring didn't we?

 

This is a dumb argument. You pay someone enough money, they'll get in the ring and fight.

Are you tryin to tell me that guys like Klitschko who was on his knees crawlin around the floor after not even getting hit by Sanders has a lot of balls?

Get the **** outta here with that bull****. He is one of the most heartless heavyweights I've ever seen. His brother on the other hand, he's a real fighter. He proved that against Lewis.

But my point is, you put in a more fluid guy that Wlad with fast hands that can hit, it's game over Wlad.

****, Corrie Sanders wasn't even near the level of an athlete as elite NBA players, and he would beat any version of Wlad in history.

Wlad just doesn't have the heart or guts to deal with any kind of punishment. Vitali had to give him a serious ass whuppin and take **** in return to put him away.

Wlad is fraud. He won't even fight David Haye.

 

heavyweights are too, big, slow and boring
unwatchable, so its all a moot (sp?) point bros
lower weight classes are where its at

 

And perhaps someone would care to explain why the american 'super' athlete isnt dominating all other weight classes except HW or are american athletes all over 200lbs. All the best prospects appear to be coming from the poorer countries in the world.

 

Hey Hendo, what was the reason Haye pulled out of the first fight with Wlad? Was it the hand injury, the back injury or Setanta's bankrupty?

Why did Haye have to use THREE excuses to duck one fight when one excuse would have sufficed? I'll answer: He's a fake.

 

you fight harder when youre hungry
there are still many tough/hungry american fighters, jus less than there used to be.

 

I just dont get the 'superior athelete' bull****. Name the greatest HW's of all time and they arent the ones with the fastest dash times or highest numbers. Athleticism is required in boxing and great athleticism helps alot, but its only one component of the sport.

 

The fight is not happenin. Wlad is fightin Chisora instead, missin out on the biggest pay day of his career, and already signed to fight Adamek.

What a straight *****.

****in disgrace.

 

There are a number of people who, when they say "superior athletes", really just mean "black dudes".

 

Because Americans in general aren't small.. but even guys in the 5'8" to 6' range and 160-190lbs can play college football, and all you idiots ignore the fact:

Playing football in high school is a good way to get laid.. and getting a free ride in college and playing college football is a great way to get laid.

 

What the **** is basketball to the vast majority of Europeans? Something you do if you're too tall, slow and clumsy to play football (soccer).

 

Take an elbow from Shaq, and see how girlie it is, Shaq could murder every member of your pansy ass football clubs with his bare hands. FACT.

 

haha you are on the wind up mate! I don't mind bball myself.

 

So how come we have had guys like mosley, hopkins, RJJ, and recently PBF. All those guys are hugely atheletic, where are those guys at the moment.

 

Keep hearing this idea repeated that Americans used to be the best boxers and athletes in the world but now they have been caught up by Europeans,what a load of rubbish.......They rarely fought Europenas and if they did it was 99% of the time in America.The only reason things are different now is because other countries actually take an interest in it and can generate money to put on shows in their own countries,it has nothing to do with Americans being better athletes.....In all 'World Sports' the best athletes come from different parts of the world.....its laughable that some people still believe the rubbish the nazi's used to peddle regarding superior genetics,its complete garbage
