The reason for the decline of American heavyweights?

But the fact remains, the only guys you have who are big enough to compete are not fit enough to go 12 rounds...

Americans are not naturally big, eastern europeans are...

Umm right. So what's your point? All THE BEST talent that used to come to boxing is swallowed up by other sports. What's left is second tier athletes at best. I mean you're basically agreeing with us, so what's your point?

You are putting words into my mouth. I said they would STRUGGLE. Maybe not lose, but definitely struggle.

Size is a BIG factor in boxing, like it or not.

Go back to Serbia!!!!

No I am not agreeing with you. American football (since REAL football is played with your feet) players who are big enough do not have to work non stop at the same pace as a boxer, and are not fit enough to do so.

Even if the pool of talent wasn't depleted by other sports, America still would not have any dominant heavyweights.

I am not Serbian.

If you have to resort to insulting me, you obviously do not have a rational arguement, so I fail to see why you are still posting in this thread.

Uh so you basically thought that those old heavyweights I listed had bad stamina because they are American? WTF?

So ALI would have LOST To Wlad Klitchsko? Yes or no.

You are not reading what I am saying. I am not saying they were always second best, I'm saying they found it easier to succeed without a significant size disadvantage, is it that hard to accept?

and your not understanding that guys that are 6 feet and up and over 200 pounds are in the nfl nba nhl mlb
