Getting pissed of with this USA NFL / NBA BULL****!!!!!

Its true....

Guys like the Carolina Panthers Julius Peppers a guy who is 6-7 and 290 pounds...fast and explosive would be heavyweight champ of the world had he started out boxing as a kid.

Not to sound controversial or piss people off but I've read several places that African Americans have gotten soft, Boxing is a hard sport usually for people who don't have many other opportunities in life. Also Boxing isn't very popular with African Americans any more, just look how the best African American fighters can't draw. Like I said I'm not trying to be controversial or piss people off.

I read this on Cyberboxingzone from a guy I assume is a prison guard.

Youre right, we have gone soft. so have italians, ***s, the irish, and all the other groups that used to dominate the sport. Boxing is a sport of desperation, if you want to take punches to get to the top, you need to be determined, personally, there are just better, less violent options now. less to do with going soft and more to do with a cultural shift toward the sport.

You should not be banned for your opinion. Even if it's ******ed. I've been all over Europe.

It's not an opinion...It's a FACT....you Americans keep getting softer and us Eastern Europeans keep getting stronger.

Hell look at LebRon James....hes an athletic freak....who stands 6-9 and weighs 265 pounds.

I mean seriously.

[Klitschko2011]

basketball players are all a bunch of *******

black americans have gone soft

[F l i c k e r]

the spanish and the yugoslavians are pretty good.

Germans too if you count Dirk Nowitzki.

klithugger 2009, is a racist. Just because there is more money in other things that dont involve getting your faced punched in. A race is ***** for it.

[Mr. Philadel]

it should be a crime that mcgrady gets paid more than kobe.

and jermaine gets paid more than duncan.

true.......T-Mac is way over-paid.......and the "Big Fundamental" should be gettin' more than what JO is gettin'!!

KG vs Paul Williams........what you think?

The problem is getting the youth interested in boxing, the majority of sport stars don't decide to do a sport because of money. They are stars of their sport because they got interested in it at a young age and practiced it because they like it.

I'm American and let me say,THIS IS A COP OUT. Just cuz u run a 4.3 or bench 225 25 times doesn't equate to being a great fighter. Boxing is more than athleticsm it's hunger,desire,dedication and willingness to win. Just cuz u fast doesn't mean u'll have a chin or even wanna punch or get punched.

The biggest problem is the networks,promoters and Boxing itself for the lack of Heavyweight contenders from the U.S. There are fewer gyms and Boxing is almost exclusively on premium cable and PPV. You think poor kids like Tyson,Hoylfield,Foreman,Ali were back in the day have HBO OR SHOWTIME TODAY? Of course not. Boxing has always attracted kids from the hood who basically were loaners and ego-maniacs that wouldn't fit in a team concept and that actually liked to fight. There is a better chance that the best American Heavyweight is in jail or hangin on a corner rather than in the NFL or NBA.
