    Why do you think there are fighters so good from Eastern Europe ???

    What´s the common factor many Eastern Europeans have with black-americans or latinos, asians, etc, etc ??

    Today, it is always about the money. Bute fighting Froch is a good fight to really sell a Ward fight. I believe Bute is the money man between the two though. This is why I truly respect Bute for fighting someone like Froch in Froch's own backyard when he does not have to. This tells us he wants the good fights and to fight only the best. Sounds a litlle like the money comes second to him or he is just gambling to a much bigger payday with Ward. Froch can be the wrench in the works if he beats Bute.

    Poverty. . .

    It's not just poverty, cause a lot of these eastern europeans grew up in perfect middle class environments (and a lot of the latino/african americans didn't even grow up in "poverty" like oyu might think) . . . It's simply what sport is the most popular amongst them. . . rarely any white americans try to box. . . but it's quite popular sport amongst mexican/african americans.

    Yeah, I think perhaps not poverty......but a tough environment.....
    And what you said too.....it´s more practiced by these people, but it´s more popular between them because there aren´t ways of living easier in most cases......Or Am I wrong ??

    Just asking to you guys....
    Maybe I have a wrong impression from here about these things.....But you got it......I mean, for example italian-americans, Boxing had a LOT of italian-americans in the past (and still have, Paulie for example) because these reasons......Irish fighters too !

    teddy atlas said it best, "as long as the world has tough neighborhoods, people will lace up the gloves."

    Yeah, if you have safer and easier ways to live, you don´t box in many cases, that´s it........with some exceptions to this rule of course....

    Wlad being white has nothing to do with how he is judged mother****er. Being that he got knocked out by two blacks, this seems to burn you inside.

    Don't forget that a white South African knocked his ass out in two rounds.

    Wlad is boring, he fights boring even against nondescript comp, and he hasn't crossed over to mainstream appeal because of this. Diehards respect him, I respect him, but he's never laid it down on the line and won a tough fight when he had to.

    The worst thing you can do is whiten Wlad up to posters here Joe you ****ing *****.

    It isn't just black folk who **** on Wlad.

    The majority of blacks don't know or care who the hvw champion is today. Then again, the same goes for white folk. Nobody knows Wlad. You're mad because diehard American boxing fans won't overrate Wlad like you do.

    You want to know what's even funnier? Americans like Vitali more because he redeemed himself in front of the world. Wlad was on that platform and failed miserably.

    this. these ****in Klits fans always try to say black americans are the "haters" for the Klits when we dont even give a damn about them enough to even hate on them. i respect their talent but its hard to sit through a klitschko fight without sleeping.

    most of the people that "hate" on the Klits are white and from the UK :rofl:lol:

    I have a dream that all inferior, chimp looking cavemen are banished off of the face of this earth, and that the world is given back to the original man.
