Champions/ fighters are all foriegn.

American pride is great; but it's more important that we have a dominant champion. The heavyweight division has been murkier than a Scottish bog for two years now and, personally, I'm sick of it. Wlad looked dominant the other night. Granted, it was against a feather-fisted smallish man; but right now I would pick Klitshko over Rahman, Valuev, and Liakhovich. A dominant champion is more important than anything else. Americans have held the reigns in the heavyweight division for 120 years or so, with only a handful of exceptions...no need to be greedy. Good night, anything's better than John Ruiz! Let a strong and dominant man be king, I care not where his birthland is, as long as he's king.

I doubt it will happen that fast, maybe in 10-20 years it will be more even. Asian + European fighters are already doing good. Pacquiao, Calzhage and Vitali+Wlad are probably the most known out of the bunch right now. The thing about the weight classes is it is rare to see a European that is below 5'7, same with the Africans. They dont tend to have many competitors in lower divisions for genetic reasons. And when you have like 20 divisions between the weight of 105 - 140 you will of course have less European / African champions. Of course I was eing sarcastic about the 20, the actual number is 10. So no Europeans will never dominate Boxing.

It really doesn't matter where a fighter comes from as long as he can perform well...it is all about great fighters fighting great fights. For African American heavyweights, it may have to do something with the best big athletes are in the NFL. Boxing doesn't protect their clients like the NFL does, thus making it about "security" for the athlete.

lol dude its only heavyweights.... kostya was a Great 140 pounder but hes retired now and i dont see anyone in lower weight classes from eastern europe dominating like he did. lets look at all the top boxers from all the weight classes : Straweight : Eagle Kwoya = Japenese Ivan Calderon = Peurto Rican Light flyweight : Roberto Vasquez = Panamian Hugo Cazares = Mexican Flyweight : Lorenzo Parra = Venezuela Vic Darchinyan = armenian/Australian Jorge Arce = Mexican Omar Narvaez = Argentinian Super Flyweight : Martin Castillo = Mexican Jose navarro = American Masamori Tokuyama = Japenese Alex munoz = Venezuela Bantamweight : Rafael Marquez : Mexican Silence mabuza = South african Jhonny gonzalez = Mexican Wladimir Sidorenko(keeps gettin Gift DEcs and only fights in germany but i will still count him as a top bantamweight) = Ukraine Super bantamweight : Israel Vasquez : Mexican Oscar Larios(soon to move up to 130) = Mexican Featherweight : Juan manuel Marquez = Mexican Chris john(got a Gift dec but still good enuff featherweight ) = Indonesian Valdemir Pereira = Brazil Scott harrison = British Super feather : Manny pacquaio = Philippine Marco Antonio Barrera = Mexican Jorge Rodrigo Barrios = Argentinian Erik Morales = Mexican Lightweigt : Juan Diaz = American Jose luis castillo = Mexican Diego Corrales = AMerican popo Freitas = Brazilian Zahir raheem = American Jesus Chavez = Mexican Junior Welterweight : Ricky Hatton = British Miguel Cotto = Peurto Rican Welterweight : Zab judah = american Floyd mayweather = American antonio Margarito = Mexican Carlos Baldomir = Argentinian Junior middleweight : Oscar de la hoya = american Ricardo mayorga = Nicaragua Shane mosely = american Kassim ouma = Ugandan Roman Karmazin = Russian Middleweight : Winky wright = American Jermain taylor = American Bernard hopkins = American Super middleweight = Joe Calzaghe = British Jeff lacy = American Beyer = German Light heavyweight : Tarver = American Glen johnson = Barbados Cruiser : Jean marc mormec = French O neil bell = Jamaican/American Vassiliy Jirov = Kazakhstani Heavyweight = Wlad Klitschko = Ukraine Lamon brewster = American Hasim rahman = American Serguei Lyakhovich = Belarus Now tell me how many Eastern europeans are in this list . only 4(5 if u count jirov but kazakhastan is in central asia not eeastern europe). (and remember i was being generous to include Wladimir Sidorenko). yeah if this is what you call domination then may god help you :D and p.s dont even ask me why i didnt include Valuev in this list :D Peace 50RoX

To some racist pricks it does matter Im sure hes probley Eastern European himself, dont be soon to jump to conclusions. Besides Who was rooting for Tommy Morrison (American) vs. Lennox Lewis (British)? Not African Americans, no one... Why? Most likely because of his skin color, all of this was before his controvercy with Aids. I cant think of another reason why Americans would root for the Brit. There are racist pricks on every side... PS. GOLOATA!!!! HAHAHA he is a joke.

golota a champion???dominated??

Does it matter what nationality they are? Atleast we're one step closer to unification.. To some racist pricks it does matter
