Lewis w.Klitschko v.Klitschko This content is protected Langford Schmeling Povetkin Fitz Jackson Ingo Maher I'll rate Fury and Joshua when they finish their careers, if Wilder proves to better than I thing he culd climb over the Klits, Joshua too if he defeats Fury. Ruddock, Bruno, Pulev, Sharkey, Ile, Tua, Berbick, Burns, Bugner, Bonavena, Peralta, Farr...so many good fighters. Chagaev was born in Uzbekistan in Asia, as far as I know.
Great spot, Vitali was actually born in This content is protected but Wlad was born in Kazakhstan, either way both in Asia. But we are on about non-USA born fighters?
I didn't mean to insinuate otherwise. I have actually traveled that region several times. There is a high probability he was under Austrian rule in 1917. And his kinfolk were bombed excessively in WW2.
I don't think sequals was ever in Austrian hands, it certainly was not in 1906. Anyway, I'm not trying to derail a great thread. I'd say this culd stretch to a top 50.
My ADD made me research this a bit... The border of the Austro-Hungarian Empire was just to the East and just to the north of Udine, a few miles.... I know that the Germans and then then Austrians occupied much of the area, including Udine in 1917 and 1918. A great book on this theater is called The White War, out a few years back. Back to boxing...
