Why did America lose heavyweight dominance

Yeah it counts they're part of the team and are starters. Just because they happen to be the biggest doesn't make them not part of the team.

 

well if thats the case all football players are kickers and weigh 160 hahahah

 

Touche!

 

That's it in a nut shell.

 

exactly most of the top boxers here arent guys who had much talent in other sports

some do but not many

 

i think hip hop taken away all the good heavyweights, yall know game and rick ross woudl beat dem klitschko

 

Losing talent to NFL/NBA is just an excuse. Could say the same for Soccer, Tennis, Cricket, Rugby in other countries.

In 1998 when France won the world cup, the English were obsessed with french training techniques. 10 years later the French sucked. It was just luck. A good crop of players came through at the same time. Sport comes and goes in cycles.

The same can be said of boxing. The golden era of heavyweight boxing was a fluke. The fantastic four was a fluke. The lack of decent US heavyweights is just bad luck thats all.

 

yup im only bringing up that soccer argument at welterweight to show how stupid the yank argument at heavyweight is

i dont belive it takes away talented boxers at all ,same way any non handicapped person can see the nfl/nba argument is bs

 

i think it maybe golf thats taking all the boxing talent away.

 

ya id say john 'the drunk' daly could fight

 

atsch

So I guess 50 years of great HWs was a fluke? 100 years of dominating the sport was a fluke?

 

No, like I said...its a global sport now. but some of it will come down to variance. In 5 years time there could be 5 world class american heavies.

Im no basketball expert, but I remember the US winning the Basketball gold with College kids. But now they have to try hard to win. The rest of the world is catching up. Same with boxing.

 

easy to dominate when barely anyone else is competing

ireland has dominated hurlinf for 150 years, other countries just cant compete

 

That was because the rest of the world was using their pros and we were sending our kids. We lost got fed up and sent in our pros the Dream Team and they mopped the floor with them.

 

Ireland hasn't dominated the world in anything.:deal To be honest I don't even know why you're on a boxing forum.:yep:good
