Not that it really matters because the division isn't that good besides the top two guys, but Americans/non whites dominate Light Heavyweight.
-Bernard Hopkins
-Chad Dawson
-Antonio Tarver (is better then Zsolt Erdei)
-Glen Johnson (is better then Zsolt Erdei)
-Jean Pascal (WBC Champ)Comment

Thats because all of the talented african americans are involved in other sports, such as basketball and football.
There are hardly any boxing gyms in the cities anymore compared to the days of old. So of course you're going to see a shift from african american dominance to non-american dominance.
Think if Lebron James, Shaq, Kobe, Garnett, etc etc etc etc etc were groomed to be boxers their entire lives. LMAO, it wouldn't be funny how badly these european fighters would get **** on, and I'm not trying to diss I'm just being real about the situation.Comment

I'm not jealous, I can care less what country someone comes from. My favorite fighters are Pacquiao, Cotto, Joan Guzman, Bernard Hopkins, David Haye, etc etc etc.
They come from all over the world. I like highly skilled fighters.
The reason Europeans are dominating the heavyweight division reflect how poorly boxing has declined over the years. Its sad to say but it's the truth. Fortunately the lower weight classes are still packed full of talent, but mostly if you look at it it's mexicans, puerto ricans, etc. etc. etc.Comment

It would be crazy. The height of the Klitschko brothers wouldn't really even be a factor. I agree with Teddy Atlas and others when said most of the great american heavyweight champs are in basketball. Seriously, imagine Lebron James if he was a fighter since like age 8. lol it would be so unfair.Comment
