        Racism
        I dont think theres any racism in the sport, people arent bothered about boxers race or skin colour they just like good boxers and want HWs to be good.

          The thing is...Heavyweights aren't dominating like they used too before, and there were a lot of good fighters in that era, I mean its nothing about race, look at Louis, Ali, Holmes, Marciano, Tyson, Lewis...these guys dominated when they were champions, now the HW championship belt is going back and forth, Holyfield then Ruiz then Valuev then Chagaev, a HW champion is changing like every few months, Brewster then Sergei then Briggs and now Ibragimov, we are not having a champion that is dominant, If Vitali didnt have injuries or anything he would have been dominant, he was when he was fully fit, Wladimir is the only HW champion that been dominant, I think he defended his WBO titles around 7 times, and so far has defended his IBF title 3 times. I just dont want to see a HW champion losing his belt atleast in his next 4 or 5 fights

            Yet, take a look at old polls on this site. Most people picked Briggs over Ibragimov, Rahman to beat Maskaev, and Byrd to beat Wladimir. Virtually everyone picked Brewster to beat Lyakhovich.

            Is it possible that many of us underestimate the capabilities of fighters from over there? Are we unfairly negative in our evaluation of them? Is it so difficult to admit that THEY'RE REALLY GOOD?

              No one or very less people picked Byrd to beat Wladimir, but did pick Rahman, Briggs and Brewster because they were the favourites to win, Briggs was'nt I think.

                This is how I see it. I havent seen anything from those guys yet that tells me they can take Wlad's right hand. I still think they are good fighters though.

                  Its obvious the fact that all these guys are white blinds people from the fact that they are pretty good.

                    3. Chagaev

                    2. Chugaev
                    3. Ibragimov
                    4. Maskaev

                    I think Chris Byrd and Sam Peter can both probably beat 3 out of the 4 titlists.

                      OK, it definately isn't true that most people picked Byrd over Wlad. Virtually everyone thought Wlad would win that one.

                      I definately had Ibragimov over Briggs and I think the majority of people did. I was 50/50 on Maskaev versus Rahman simply because I hadn't seen Maskaev fight since his loss to Lance Whitaker so I wasn't sure what he had left. I'll admit I was leaning towards Rahman but if the last time I saw Maskaev he was laid out in 2 by Whitaker who can blame me?
