Bullshit . The euro's have simply started recovering from two world wars and the iron curtain coming down . It has become a global sport instead of an American one pretending to be .

This.
Lots of poverty and hunger in the east as well. They've just started to get their passports.

Poverty and hunger. As in, it seems to be a breeding ground for great boxers. A way out of it.

not a fan of chisora....
but him being a zimbabwean has exactly what to do with anything exactly

Im making a point that Zimbabwe isnt exactly a hotbed of boxing talent and history

I don't know if any of you guys have boxed. It's brutal getting punched. As tough as the NFL is it's still better than getting punched. Black athletes in the US dream of being a football player and not a boxer.

You think he's ready?

I'm not sold on him.

I love his recklessness though.

Deontay looks like Lebron huge strong black athletic body has been getting better I once had hope for Michael Grant but he kept breaking his ankles

that's kinda what my concerns are about him. He needs to campaign for another 2-3 years..take some more shots, build up grit under heavy fire then he'll be ready for a title go.

put him in there now vs Wlad and he'd get demolished.

He has great potential though.

Ken Norton had a solid build for a heavyweight too.

oldtimer1 · « **Reply #24 on:** July 21, 2013, 03:42:29 PM »

Remember when Ken Norton broke Ali's jaw winning the first fight? He really had an odd fighting style crossing his arms in defense. He really paid for all the battles he was in like so many other fighters.
