I'm not into Euro boxing. Am I wrong for that?

This isn't a discriminatory thing, but I just can't get into European boxing. Why is that, and is anyone else like me? I'm also like that but now russian boxers i've always liked except for the klitschko's

Nah, You don't have to like anything... Are missing out on some cracking fights though!

Well if you haven't seen Kovalev, you're missing out. You're not necessarily wrong. I just don't get it. I'm from the US, but honestly, when it comes to boxing, I watch everything. Boxing is a global sport. As far as not watching a fight because there's a European fighter, that's a little bizarre to me.

I'm not into Mayweather, Hopkins and Andre Ward. I find them boring. Am I wrong for that?

"Euro boxing" per se is not an issue... The true issue is: lately, a significant number of solid fighters, emerged from the "former Soviet block school", came to the U.S... Lomachenko, Provodnikov, Golovkin, Kovalev, Usyk, etc... (While the Klitschko brothers chose to fight in Germany, Ukraine...) Now, who (from the U.S.) is actually fighting those guys? Bradley (who was dropped by Prov), and Stevens (who was stopped by Golovkin)... Others? Some "Latinos", of course...

I can't imagine not caring at all about European boxing. There are so many good and exciting fighters right now.

I haven't watched a Klistchko fight in the longest time. GGG is my guy. Even with Kovalev, I hear about him 24/7 on this site, but I still can't muster up the energy to care. Damn. That's crazy, if you like Golovkin you should like Kovalev. Not that they fight the same, but so much of what is likeable about GGG applies to Kovalev. Euros also know how to create an atmosphere that isn't really comparable here in the States, even if the fight itself sucks.

The expression "Euro boxing" is vague and of little relevance... There are some (more or less) definite "boxing schools" in Europe -- such as the British school, the Russian school or the German school... One doesn't have to like them, but one should at least try to "understand" them...

Can't be a real fan of the sport if all you like/watch is American boxing. I love watching Boxing from all around the world due to the difference of styles and match-up's.

All the good ones are from East Europe like the Klitchko's, GGG, Kovalev, Prov The fighters in the UK suck now except for Froch and Fury :rofl: Froch & Fury???? :rofl: you are hilarious lool thanks for that laugh.

You probably just hate the accents since I'm sure you watch the streams. And I don't know how you can't, these Euros put on great shows and are tough men. A lot of what American fighters lack is the toughman show, the worse part about American fighters is when they truly believe in their ring finesse when in actuality they stink up the place when they don't have P4P skills. Well said.

and I don't like all the ropes being white

lol this post is complete bullshit. :rofl: I mean in the sense that he's more about offense rather than defense. But it depends how you interpret "Euro boxing". To me it means more concerned with offense rather than defense, sort of similar to the Mexican style. Take the more memorabe European clashes over the years - Benn vs Eubank, Froch vs Kessler, Haye vs Chisora.. they were more about offense and causing as much damage as possible. Pacquiao was all about being in wars for much of his career. But if you boil down to punch selection, movement, technique etc.. Well Pacquiao has always had his own unique style in that sense..

Define "Euro boxing." Boxing in Europe?

Pacquiao actually had much more of a "European" style when he was coming up. He's developed into a much more rounded fighter but he still arguably has a more European style than an American style - although it could be argued he now has a style all of his own. But are you saying you didn't like Pacquiao's style when he was coming up in the game?? lol this post is complete bullshit. :rofl:

This the guy that said only hoodrats use the term exposed lol. How he still isn't banned after all this baiting is beyond me. He's clearly bored and lonely

But are you saying you didn't like Pacquiao's style when he was coming up in the game?? It's not the style. It's purely European boxing on the surface. That sounded incredibly ignorant, but dammit, I can't explain it. I literally just thought of this. I think it's because, since I grew up with American boxing, I've always come to the conclusion that the European style fighter will lose to the slick, American style fighter. Therefore, I don't invest time into following someone's career, when I think he'll eventually lose to the slick American fighter, or the rugged Latin fighter. I literally just thought of this as I was typing a response. I know I'm absolutely ignorant in this line of thinking, since there's hundreds to thousands of examples of why I'm wrong, but maybe that's it.

All the good ones are from East Europe like the Klitchko's, GGG, Kovalev, Prov The fighters in the UK suck now except for Froch and Fury After what groves put froch through its clear he doesn't suck. I'd add to that list Carl frampton and Martin Murray too whilst taking off fury.

Why would you do an exception for Golovkin though ? I have no idea. :rofl: I guess, the few times I was in the mood to watch a European fighter, he impressed the **** out of me, and I love his style. I guess I should take that approach with all European fighters.
