i'm guessing its fair to count nations that are former members of the soviet union as "russian"

There's so many it's difficult to choose only three.

I'll go with Alexander Povetkin, Kostya Tszyu, and Sultan Ibragimov.

Matvey Korobov, Denis Boytsov, Dmitry Pirog, Grigory Drozd and Igor Mikhalkin are excellent prospects.

Not really. It's politically incorrect and may offend some Ukrainians and especially other nations that are not related to the Russians.

Tszyu, Maskaev and Povetkin. I don't count the Klitschkos as Russians.
