    :lol: Thank god they're adept at running, because the last thing they need is a hungry Sam Peter getting his hands on 'em.

    Americans must have a huge secret inferiority complex about the HW division.

    They once ruled the division, but what kind of division? A division without Soviets, without Cubans, without Africans. Only Americans and Europeans.

    Now HW-boxing is a worldwide affair and it is more difficult to achieve something due to a higher density of solid fighters from all over the world and suddenly our friends from the US of A are the biggest crybabies and achieve nothing. But hey dont worry, go to Wendys, you might meet a US-Heavyweight there....

    I'm glad someone stated the obvious. I wish boxing could make a comeback in the U.S., but unfortunately, it would probably take a charsimatic American boxer to get big make that happen. And since all of our great athletes play stick and ball sports, where on earth will that boxer come from? The U.S. has the best athletes in the world, by hook or by crook. And they are certainly the best paid athletes in the world, an average player in the NFL probably earns more than a top ranked boxer anywhere in the world. It's a cause effect situation that will be tough to break.

    LOL Why would American athletes want to get their brains beat in for chunk change when they can make way more money by tossing a ball around? Don't be too upset when your top athletes come home with a goofy accent and can barely remember to spell their names correctly. Maybe your countrymen will become competetive in the REAL money-making sports someday!

    Until then, you can have boxing. It's more like dogfights to us Americans anyway. Just a guilty pleasure. And guess who the DOGS ARE!
