    East Germany had significantly better results in just about all sports because of massive state run doping programme.

    ...Some of you think communism makes you a better boxer?

    You know what actually makes you a better boxer? Training, hard work, and a bit of natural aptitude. Political ideologies don't amount to **** in the ring.

    I mean you could argue some of the greats were staunch capitalists.

    Ray Robinson had a slew of businesses including a restaurant and lingerie store.

    Blokes like Foreman, Schmeling, Lamotta, Hoya, Pac were successful in business.

    You guys are really silly, i only said that a communist fighting name goes well with boxing because boxing was one of the major sports in a lot of communist country's. Thats the reason why communist countrys were so strong in boxing.

    Oh. It isn't a communist boxing name at all though. It has no connections with communism the way he means it.
