Boxing will be dominated by the fighters from the Soviet Union in the few years

[Jim Jeffries]

a 36 yr. old ray oliveira and 40 yr. old vince phillips?

Fighting poor competition = green at world class level in my book, I don't know about you. Ricky had some decent wins after Tszyu, I'm just not sure he had any/very many prior.

You can't school anybody Kim Jeffries.

Well someone that by the quality of his posts hasn't attended much school, certainly won't admit that he's been (schooled,) I agree.

Anyway, garbage thread. I'm out, seriously this time.

Boxing will never be dominated by one country, ever again, IMO. And you certainly can't claim dominance if you never leave yours.

Don't you know the future of boxing is to fight ouside in the winter months, so being brought up in cold weather will be a huge advantage only Alaskans will be able to compete.

i hope ur not serious if so

in his defense , he was with frank warren early in his career.

before tszyu , the only wins i can think of ricky had against guys i've heard of was oliveira , phillips and tackie. don't know how much credit to give for those wins though......

There wont be anymore reckless mexican "warriors" (lol) who fight tomato cans and claim a title belt or american ****** thugs turned boxer.
This is because fighters like Kolorov (sp) and up and coming fighters from Europe will dominate the boxing scene, they lived in cold places so naturally they are tougher human beings.

That is some stellar logic there. Meet future heavyweight champion of the world Arnakua'gsak Pukkeenegak

Damnit, I want out of this thread, lol. Well obviously he was given enough credit to warrant a shot at Tszyu. One thing is for sure, Ricky's experience (on a world level) was a fair bit greater by the time Floyd fought him than just after he'd beaten Kostya. Just not sure why the fight couldn't have been at 140, where Floyd would've received more credit.

Which Glen Johnson was better? The one that fought Hopkins, or the one that fought RJJ?

Hey squeal.

Alaska has produced Sugar Ray Robinson, Muhammad Ali, Roy Jones, Joe Louis and countless other greats.

The man has a point.

Boxing needs classy people not clueless dinosaurs like Magarita and Manny 'it nathin perlsonal' Pacquioa

what kind of dumb ass logic is that. u could be born and raised in a cold climate and still be a *****. everything else u said was rubbish also

Every great fighter in American history has atleast a little bit of Eskimo blood flowing through their veins.

That is how I judge prospects in the US, if they lack Eskimo blood they will never ammount to anything. If a fighter is atleast a little Eskimo he is destined for greatness.
