  • The Supposed Euro/Russian HW Explosion Has Officially Fizzled Out

    Two years ago the Euro fans on here were just beside themselves gushing about all the future HW talent coming out and how the American heavies were terrible and doomed to 2nd class status even after the Klitschko brothers retired.

    Now here we are two years later and pretty much every single guy has turned out to be overrated - or an outright fraud - let's take a look

    Robert Helenius - The Nordic-less Nightmare, went from heir apparent to the HW title, to getting his ass kicked by a tomato can Chisora, to crying about his contract and ****ing off the Finland. BUST.

    Dennis Boytsov - Oh yeah gotta love the hype this guy got as the Russian Tyson or whatever the hell they called him after he fought a resume that makes Deontay Wilder laugh. Beaten down by an Australian of zero repute. BUST

    Alexander Dimirenko - Has the honor of not only saying he made Eddie Chambers look like a power puncher but also holds claim as the only fighter to **** his pants and pass out from fear in the locker room before a fight. BUST.

    David Haye - Was going to save us from the Klitschko's. Nothing to add here - his name is the punch line. BUST

    David Price - The next heir apparent. UK fans were comparing his size and power to Klitschko and even giving Price the nod. Destroyed twice by a 41 year old American fighter largely viewed as washed up in utterly pathetic efforts. Attempting to rebuild his career with the help of a Sauerland and a shrink. Good luck. BUST

    Artur Szpilka - Exposed - KO'd by a guy who doesn't even hit hard. BUST.

    Magomed Abdusalamov - Best wishes in recovery but yet another guy who was clearly overhyped with a padded up record. BUST

    Alexander Povetkin - Was supposed to be the best non-Klit for many years but sat around fighting tomato cans and passing up chances- got his shot - and fared no better than anyone else who has fought Wlad. HYPE.

    Tomasz Adamek - Has spent more time drinking and driving and turning down fights the past couple years than he has spent training. Is already well past it by now. No Future.

    Alexander Ustinov - Imagine taking 300 lbs of dog crap and shaping it into human form. Then put boxing gloves on it and give it life. Then you have Ustinov. NEVER WAS

    Manuel Charr - I'm sure someone takes him seriously. Has fought nothing but stiffs since losing to Vitali. BUST

    Glazkov - Was schooled by Malik Scott. Regardless of decision his ceiling was exposed as not being world class. BUST


    Who is left?

    Kubrat Pulev? Probably the consensus #1 European HW at the moment but is still fighting guys like Joey Abell. I'm not sold.

    Tyson Fury - At least he talks a good game and isn't afraid to come to the USA for a fight. I'll give ya that!



    Meanwhile...............

    Two North Americans will fight for the WBC title and two Americans - Wilder and Jennings are considered among the Top-5 HW's in the world by most boxing experts.


    The US fighters aren't incredibly impressive themselves - but the current Euro-Russian crop has gone bust at an amazing rate over the past two years.

    If the Klitschkos retired today HW superiority would come from the Western Hemisphere for the time being.

    Judging by this thread, your avi and user title..... You clearly have some sort of obsession.



    Who cares where the top Heavyweights (or any division for that matter) are from? lol

      I like Jennings and Wilder but I wouldnt say they are top 5. Top 10 might be a stretch. HW division flat out stinks though.

            Povetkin is without any doubt a top 5 heavyweight.

                Both Wilder & Jennings are bums. HW division is dead & we won't be seeing any American talent for a while.

                  Feel free to remind us of the fate of Seth Mitchell, Malik Scott and Jonathan Banks . As for the two North Americans fighting for the WBC strap, only one has earned the right; the other has been gifted the opportunity by pro-US/Mexican sanctioning body.

                  WTF has Wilder done to deserve a top 10 ranking? Flatten A-Farce Harrison? If that's the case, perhaps Martin Rogan is worthy of a top 10 spot.

                    Euro fighters are spreading out amongst other divisions and dominating. It's good to see. Plus you've got Olympians coming out at HW while the champs are still Euro. You can't even grasp at straws here as there are none.
