Boxing isn't the main focus in Eastern Europe, there are tons more athletes going into soccer, basketball, track + field sports, strong man, MMA, etc....
There are more gyms in America....Eastern Europeans are stronger, hungrier and tougher than Americans...We have it tough with poverty and hardship, we were just allowed to turn pro years after the cold war.
A quick bio on the best Eastern European
He was born in Semipalatinsk, Kazakhstan. Though a major celebrity in his former adopted home of Germany, in 2004 he moved with his older brother Vitali to Beverly Hills. Their father, Wladimir Rodionovich, was a Soviet Air Force Colonel. Their mother is Nadezhda Ulyanovna.
In the summer of 1996 Wladimir finished Pereyaslav-Khmelnitsky Pedagogical Institute (Ukraine) and was accepted in the postgraduate study program of the Kyiv University. On January 18, 2001 in a conference hall of Kyiv University of physical science and sports, Wladimir presented his doctorate dissertation and was awarded a PhD in Sports Science.

where are they on the pound for pound lists? where are they besides the hw division?
Chambers looks to have all the tools except proper conditioning. He might could be another James Toney (heavyweight tenure). I wish the best heavyweights in the world didn't play in the NFL.
