The names of the current crop of world heavyweight champions don’t trip off the tongue in the same way as the role call of Johnson, Dempsey, Marciano, Muhammad Ali and Tyson. [details (http://www.boxingscene.com/?m=show&id=2697)]

I guess the man is right...Oh well, as long as we get good fighters I couldnt care less where they are from.

Youth in North America changed. No longer do they watch boxing and want to become fighters...


Nowadays it's the rappers and basketball players the kids look up to...

dont worry about it.....europe will take care off it

dont worry about it.....europe will take care off it

Just wait for all the flames to come in this thread...You think the Americans will accept what Arum said??? Tis travesty and blasphemy lol.....

Arum is right, in his theory of guys going for careers in other sports. But to say Mike Tyson is the last great? Who knows when the next poor kid finds boxing as his light at the end of the tunnel, and becomes the next great.
Boxing can bring glory to a single individual, more so than a team sport a lot of the time. A boxer is one solo warrior. Not part of a collective of athletes playing together to win.

arum can kiss my ass, my boy is gonna be heavyweight champ

detroit *****!

Whatever happened to Gerald "Man titties" Nobles?

arum how many top heavy weights does he promote? point and game

I agree with TOPitbull, some other hungry young kid will definitely come along some day.

The Europeans have been doing well lately in the Heavyweight Divisions. Another thing to notice in the Heavys, the defensively skilled fighters are wearing the belts for the most part.

Rockin' :boxing:


i find that a big problem for the sport that the defensive are champs....i mean they are boring and not so good fore the sports popularity

he is tellin the truth alot of ppl dont have the drive for it anymore

So we shouold have been pulling for the curicus show freak instead of the limited and boring legitimate fighter.

i couldn't care less what arum, king,or any other promoter thinks

I don't know about that, there will be a young man who was raised by a fighter whos grandpa was a fighter who will become a hw champ like floyd did at lighter weights. and i am not talking about chazz wither hes a ***** compaired to tim wither. this sport beats to an american pulse in the blood example. how is anyone 6'2 230 going to play in the nba. nfl is a diffrent matter unfortunetly and just emagine all those ok athletes how play college ball or pull third string in the nfl, how many of those guys under a good trainer would be contenders

and if they could prove it at hw they would make their yearly salary on one fight if they were good more than 100,000 or so for sitting bench and have a chance at glory, not that the fight game is easy but if your tough willing to listen and learn the game look at what you could do ala rahman who was never that good but a good athlelete.

well technacly you can't anchieve the speed of light you can't even get close because as you aprouch the speed of light time slows farather and farther the closer you come to it. acorroding to einstine, but dude I dig, Without cheb :mad:

So we shouold have been pulling for the curicus show freak instead of the limited and boring legitimate fighter.
the freak doesnt cheat, and doesnt bore fans to death all the while filing bull**** lawsuits and saying hes the best HW in the world.

valuev is the lesser of the two evils. i cant believe so many people have been willing to stand up for ruiz rather than see the bane of the HW division get purged.

This comes from a man who has never been inside a ring in his life and ripped fighter off blind and a jew :mad:
