Yes, the days of Muhammid Ali, Larry Holmes and Mike Tyson are well behind us.
The current American Afro-American fighters are all caught up in the Rap culture.... much to their own demise. It was just a matter of time.
Now it's all about Klitscko, Ibragamov, Chagaev .... and this new Russian kid Povetkin (with an outstanding amatuar record). And even Oleg Maskaev could return from injury to kick Samuel Peter's ass whenever he wanted to.
Welcome to the NEW heavyweight scene! Better recognize!
-
I say he wins the IBF eliminator and Kos Klitschko.
-
boxing? wow ::)
-
boxing? wow ::)
let me guess, your into watching two redneck fags rolling around on the floor together cage fighting?
-
I wanna see him hit someone with mma gloves, not big ass boxing gloves ::)
-
not sure I'm ready to hop on the povetkin bandwagon just yet considering he's russian and has never fought outside of germany or russia, but gettin bryd out of there is somewhat impressive,but I'd be a hell of a lot more impressed if he came to the U.S and did that...
he's been in there with c level fighters (with the exception of byrd) so far and I can see him doing alot of shit wrong
Boxing's like MMA though.............
THE HEAVYWEIGHTS SUCK !!!!!!!
-
Geo,
Povetkin is young and needs to take baby steps. That being said he did get Byrd out early and has an impressive resume.
You Americans can bitch all you want that the heavyweight division sucks ... but I ask you ... show me a good American Heavyweight contender?
You can't can you?

this has nothing to do with whether or not an american is in the mix or not
klitchko's bored the shit out of me..
ibragamov's a southpaw and slaps with his shots (never like watching southpaws in any division)
I can't even count the times I've seen Maskaev in there and be mentally defeated and look like shit sometime after the 3rd or 4th
chagaev is ordinary at best
the division sucks and europe is importing c level amercan fighters to fill seats in germany or russia...
as I said....let them fight here and I'll start paying a little more attention to them
-
Your post has some validity. Yet all the guys you name have beaten the very best that America has to offer.
I guess I'm just happy that these Russians have showed up the best American fighters .... all of whom are black .... and these same black fighters have claimed for years that the "White Hopes/Dopes" were not worthy of holding the belts?
Now what are these black heavyweights saying?
Can you hear the crickets chirping?

hey, more power to the russian guys if they can dominate the division ( they basically are),I have no problem with that,I've just been sick of the division for what seems forever now....
I'd love to see Maskaev be more consistant and unify all the belts but with heavies they tend show up for some fights and then take some fights off !

by the way Klitschko is Ukrainian not russian.
THere isn't anybody from america that is a contender. right now is a great time in HW boxing

that's one of the more idiotic things I've read on this board !
;D
-
at the moment
-
considering it's almost a prerequisite these days to lose a fight before you get a shot at one of the titles, EVERYONES a contender !
actually I think I may be a contender
-
Boxing is a sport you must take up young and the best pros have a long amateur career. In this country that has been restricted to inner cities-thus the lack of white fighters. Pavlik had 100+ amatur fights and he just knocked out Jermain Taylor-a rare exception.
In Russia, they have plenty of boxers who started as small kids-and have 100+ amateur fights. These guys are hungry and good, better than what the US is producing, Byrd was just battered by this guy and said the Russian will be the HW champ. This Russian is a great example of how and why Russian HWs are dominant.

Youre on the MMA board douche. Take that boxing shit over to the General boards.

that's just it,seems like american heavies these days get a fat payday and they go to shit afterwards....
eastern euopean work ethic stays intact with a few exceptions
-
Looks like he has "heavy hands"
-
definitely Heavy Hands, His punches are extremely accurate and he really leverages power on each shot. He looks like he is really gfifted and hes not even big or bulky-6-2/225. To outpunch Byrd like that means he has very good hand speed and exceptional boxing skills.
