A very short-lived "Era" in boxing.
Crawford vs Postol - American Victory
Joshua vs Klitschko - British Victory
Ward vs Kovalev - American Victory
Canelo vs Golovkin - Mexican Victory?
I hope Canelo understands the significance of this fight we are engaged in.
I would not say that their so called Era is done.
But their are not really any shows in Eastern Europe anymore.
Poland and Ukraine has no big shows.
Germany is in Central Europe, but the days with Eastern European fighters are done.
Russia have some shows but are low budget.
No big fighter is going tom fight in Russia, so they get African fighters for the most part.
No money in fighting in Russia.
But they are far from done in the USA.
Loma, Golovkin, Usyk.
Beterbiev and Murat are not Eastern European. They are Central Asian
The Caucasus is located within the European borders so, even Kazakhstan is considered Europe. For example; The Kazakhstan national football(soccer) team is struggling to join the European Championship. When you look at the map you see that it is in Asia but it is not the evaluation criterion.
Plus: Georgia, Turkey, Armenia, Cyprus, Azerbaijan also European countries.
GGG isn't Eastern European.
Postol i thought was decent..he wasn't a part of any era though. Hardly anyone knew he he was before he beat Lucas.
Wlad is 40+ and dominated his division for over a decade.
There's a p4p guy right now from Ukraine. As well as a lot of solid fighters and exciting prospects from Europe.
Plus they have a stellar amateur programme. They'll be cool.
Hahahahahahaha
You have lost you're fuuucking mind.
Klitcko is a chump one of the worst hw champs ever.
You have lost you're fuuucking mind.
How?
Klitcko is a chump one of the worst hw champs ever.
Even though he has lost fewer rounds during his reign as a champion for roughly a decade than any other past 'ATG' heavyweight boxer?
Even though he has knocked out more previously unbeaten opponents and more previously never knocked out opponents before than any other boxer?
Even though his KO victim is heavier than any previous 'ATG'S' Ko victim?
Even though he has the highest Knockout record against modern sized heavyweights (weighing above 200 pounds) in title fights than any other past heavyweight?
In other words, you're probably exposing yourself as someone who themselves are a 'chump' and has 'lost their mind'.
:lame:Since when the FUK does having a loss stop a fighter from becoming a champion, or a great, or an ATG???? Maybe you need to take a look at who has been in the top PFP list over the last 10 years. I'll give you a hint: Many fighters who have had one or more losses. EPIC FAIL ON YOUR PART!
In there minds Loma retired after that fight. He hasn't gone on and beat better fighters or going to fight better fighters then salido.
Already beaten by Salido :lol1::lame:Since when the FUK does having a loss stop a fighter from becoming a champion, or a great, or an ATG????

Vasyl Lomachenko, Artur Beterbiev, Oleksandr Usyk, Oleksandr Gvozdyk, Dmitry Bivol, Murat Gassiev and Sergey Lipinets says ''Hi''...
and you guys must follow Alexander Besputin from Russia.

They're here to stay. Phenomenal amateur programs. Just need to adapt to the pro game which you see more of a variety of styles and more inside fighting.
Wladimir Klitschko is the greatest heavyweight boxer in history, with unparalleled domination never seen before by any other boxer. Him losing at the age of 41 to a 26 year old power puncher with a 100% KO record, whilst surviving longer than any of his other previous opponents is more a testament to his greatness than negativity. In fact, it's less embarrassing for Wlad to lose to Joshua at that stage of his career than for Muhammad Ali to lose to Larry Holmes or Trevor Berbick at a much younger age.
Wladimir Klitschko at this stage of his career was already on his way out of boxing anyway. So him losing at the age of 41 is anything but 'short lived era'. His longevity and all round heavyweight boxing accomplishments / record is unparalleled and the margin by which he won his fights are things which has never previously or since been replicated.
Everything else in your list is totally irrelevant!
Ah yes the short era of Wladimir KlitschkohahahahahahaI got a laugh out of the word "short" too as if all fighters can keep a title for 10 years, and as if 10 years was a piece of cake, LOL.
