It's Americans who create the distinction with their 'Eurobum' jibes. Brits don't normally want to be associated with Europe in anything, we stand alone, but when it comes to boxing Americans lump us all in together so, so be it, take your medicine when you lose to a superior continent.
Americans are SOOOOOO biased in almost everything. Take for example the medals table in last olympics in beijing, USA took home 110 medals and just as an example Britain took 47. USA has about 5 times the population of the UK but did they win 5 times the medals? No, Its all about relativity, just because you are one of the biggest countries and win a lot of medals doesnt necessarily mean you are doing great, this could apply to other smaller countries too. I recently saw an american listing american football as a sport that americans dominate LOL, its all about domination to them, but they dont see the FACTS :drive:
Im not saying that america doesnt do well at sport, they do mostly but they dont do nearly as well as they think they do (baseball for example any1)
Your parents nationality and where you live most of you're life. If you were born in China to english parents for a few months and lived in england all your life you wouldn't be Chinese.QUOTE]
technically you would
Lewis was born in London and didn't move to canada until he was 12 and he then moved back to his HOME country England. he is about as canadian as Kostya Tszyu is australian. you are the nationality where you are born. if i move to china and live there for a few years and get chinese citizenship will i be chinese? hell no.
Your parents nationality and where you live most of you're life. If you were born in China to english parents for a few months and lived in england all your life you wouldn't be Chinese.
hell yes you will be... just like when a cuban defects to the us and gains citizenship, hes/she is then cuban-american.
Erm, Cuba is in America dipshit.
greatest country? HAHAHAHAHAHAHA, Russia>>>>>>Usa anyday all the time. america aint ****in shit. Russia CRUSHED U.S. backed Georgia in a WEEK, they even found dead american soldiers brutally owned by the Russian army over there. ahahahah
if the u.s is shit then how come russian women sell themselves on the internet to come here
Whats the difference between Russia and Romania? Or Iceland even.
romania is probably nearly as big a shiithole as russia. eastern europe in general is rough as fuuck
iceland apparently is a lovely country
Last time i heard anything about baseball all i was hearing was hispanic names anyways. so are americans even good at that? if the rest of the world gave a ish about it, I suppose a country like australia would wipe the floor with them
Sure...
I have a list of names if you likee with "non-hispanic" players in baseball. There are also several countries where Baseball is big.
Americans have a similar attitude when it comes to Soccer: If only we cared about it like our Women do we would win.
Thats why practically every American sprinter gold medal sprinter in the last twenty years you have had used drugs - Carl Lewis , Marion jones, Flo Jo, Maurice Green , Justin Gatling! Now you cant beat bolt, even if your sprinters have drugs...
Erm yes like fat Chris Areola beats klitscho,
Taylor beat down every european
US will do anything to win, cheat, drugs, non sporting tactics e.g. floyd mayweather and andre dirrell, hugging there opponents at every opportunity, thats why you get despides by others, and mayweather is so protected they never take points of him for this
As well as the rest of the World use PEDs. Dirty sports for dirty athletes. It's not a secret.
Where do you think PEDs started?

Because we are the greatest country and that would be unfair. Doesn't matter though. Stack up the best Europeans and let them fight the best Americans. More time than not America has won throughout history. The world is jealous of our success in world competition and that's how it will always be. Love looking at all the medals we take home in the olympics.
Whats funny is when they do get one over on us in world competition they throw parties. Further proof that Europe has yet to taste much success on consistent basis.

And? Schools in Britain have never taught boxing. Stupid excuses because the rest of the world is finally catching up to America in boxing training and equipment. When the rest of the world finally overtakes America you can invent American boxing and you can have a world tournament with only America in it. :lol1:
No, you guys just reinvented the sport so what's the reason now?
The Soviet Union {now former} has had boxing for a long time as well as many countries throughout history. It's just about it being alive or not in that current time and giving opportunity out. Things come and go.
Poverty and very few options for the lower-class were key in helping US prosper in boxing. With an increased economy, increased options, there is less of chance of certain things (like boxing) prospering.
Example: Why go into boxing where it is a way of life when you can go into Football and if you don't make it Pro, well, you still may have a scholarship there for you so you can get a furthered education. If you stay with boxing, and that is it, what do you do now?
Things like that.
Things change. Take food for example: Parents, mainly Mothers, used to stay home and cook and take care of kids (on the lower-low middle class level mainly). Now, fewer households have that so fast-food tends to be the option and other things in family life.
I know of parents that won't even let their kids play outside because they fear they will be shot. That fear wasn't with my parents when I was growing up which wasn't to long ago.
Changes of life.
You have to understand that America spends tons of money on football baseball and basketball. Boxing is almost nonexistent outside of major cities.
You have basketball baseball and football in gym class but they do not teach boxing at schools like they did back in the old days when boxing was the #2 sport, pre NFL football.
I live in a city of 150,115 people
and I'd have to drive around 20 miles to find the nearest boxing gym.
