All the good European fighters are playing chess

russian sportsmen are superior to all the other ones look back at soviet days when we won every olympics

I say we claim Puerto Rico too. Mexico, Puerto Rico, USA, Canada. Maybe there's a good boxing country we can invade too in Europe to be one of us, like Ukraine! Since 90% of everything we use comes from China, we claim that country. Euchina. Come tear this wall.

All the top British HW fighters are currently in cricket. Andrew ''Freddie'' Flintoff had played cricket all his life until he decided to lace them up to prove this theory correct by debuting and beating the best, undefeated HW America had to offer.

Tell me when boxing was the most popular sport in a country, and then everyone started playing chess. Tell me when boxing was the most popular sport in a country before being replaced by football, hockey, rugby, or anything else. Tell me when the rise of those sports coincided with the fall of boxing in that country. Seriously, you people need to stop talking like you know what you're talking about when you have no clue. You all purposely misconstrue the argument out of some bigoted desire to believe that American boxers are just naturally inferior. That happened in most western countries. People began to have better options than getting punched in the face for a living, and a number of sports became affordable. Tennis, swimming, and biking were considered sports for 'rich people', not anymore. Recently more and more people started to play basketball and rugby. The US are not so unique as many seem to believe. The only exceptional facts I can think of are incarceration rate per capita and defense budget. If one wants to speculate, it's much more likely that all these American champions are in jail rather than playing basketball.

u aint invading **** but third world countries. u step to a real country your screwed

america will lose at any sport if other countries took an interest...there not superior like they think they are... just ignorant americans whats new

How many Chess players are HW champions? Currently? One. Not so long ago two.

You all purposely misconstrue the argument out of some bigoted desire to believe that American boxers are just naturally inferior. I don't think anyone is seriously implying that US fighters are inherently inferior. It's really quite simple: When you're the only ones fighting you always win. When the outside world is included, you usually don't win because you are a small portion of the world. The football/basketball argument is silly most of all because it's unnecessary. A wholly unnecessary argument introduced to explain why despite being superior, the US no longer dominates boxing because "________________________". No, it was never superior to begin with and the increased participation of the outside world merely made it public knowledge. People clinging to this NBA nonsense are desperately trying to explain why an entity they mistakenly believe to be superior isn't performing well. Surely people realize other sports exist in Europe and Latin America and that the US is not somehow unique in forcing athletes to choose between them and boxing? Many of the champions from those countries are a perfect size for participation in their country's most popular sports, but they box instead. The theory simply fails every test of logic on every level. It reeks of insecurity and nationalistic/racial agendas. It has all of the subtly of a guy with a small wiener passionately ranting about how it's a myth that sausages are better than hot dogs at the dinner table every night. When someone finally tells him to shut up, he accuses them of "being in a league with sausage". Unnecessary, bizarre, hysterical insecurity.

You just ruined their M.L.K. Jr. Day weekend, :frown:. How rude, :dance:. I'm Hispanic, and these types of racists attacks on other posters is what brings this forum down. What does MLK day have to do with this thread? That was a stupid.

:rofl::rofl: Wilders incredible modern athleticism should have him on somebodies top 10 list any minute now. Until that one variable doesn't compute into the calculator. I actually heard one of them claim already that Wilder > Wladimir. 3 hours after he beats his first decent opponent and now he's not just the new, but apparently also the REAL HW champion of the world.. Only in America! :lol1:

I'm not even European or from Europe. I just think the "Without the NBA America would rule boxing" **** is hilarious. You'd be hard pressed to find two sports with less in common. We all know it, they all know it too, but they THINK other people are stupid enough to swallow that garbage. :lol1: It just makes them look even MORE pathetic than they actually are... And that's already pretty bloody pathetic! They needed Wilder! It was nothing but happenstance that Pulev or Povetkin or Wladimir didn't get their mitts on the WBC strap first. FACT! Congratulations for Wilder beating a great opponent and answering his questions. This elevates him in my book. It's just unfortunate that his supporters have certain other interests in mind :sad2:

That's fine and all. The thing is, what if us we fat yanks here in the States just decided to go all North American, and included Mexico into the boxing equation? What? We don't?!?:lol1: It's all just banter and ball busting to me anyways, bud. No ill will or hatred. Of course, it's all tongue in cheek. And I think you guys should. After all I see people using GGG , Klit and Kovalev as a proof of European superiority (or bs like that), only because they were born in a continent named Europe. None of them is from an actual EU country. Kazakhstan is in fact much closer to China than to Berlin or Paris.

Ok ... But seriously, if boxing was as popular as footbool here in Europe, then of course there'd be more good boxers, but it simply isn't. It's as stupid as saying that if all NBA players played football instead, then the US would win the world cup. That's fine and all.

You yanks got your ass beaten out of boxing! We all know where the GLOBAL HW title is staying, right where it is now. ;)

If one were so inclined, maybe one could find own goals in a soccer match? But seriously, we could care less. Nice to see such unity by Europe, by the way.:lol1: Ok ...
