    Is the success of Ukrainian boxers a correlation to how well they're fighting in the war?

    I'm thinking of the success of guys like Vitali, Wladimir, Loma, Usyk. These guys were/are special when they fought (we'll give Wlad a pass, he was chinny). They have what appears to be an indominable will. It appears this mindset translates over to their military in how well they're fighting against a technological superior military and being outnumbered. It is mind blowing to see that they're still holding up against arguably the 2nd strongest military in the entire world.

    Yes they are special.

    Also I think many in the know will tell you it’s possible the United States had overestimated Russia’s military prowess on the battlefield.

    Too bad ***** can’t just chalk it up as a miscalculation and send his forces back to Russia. Many lives would be saved if he did.

        Their amateur rankings blew up after these legends. Boxing was like the #1 sport for kids in the Ukraine.

        That's Why ***** invaded Ukraine. Roy Jones was scouting them and ***** wanted them to fight for Russia

          Ukraine is in no way winning the war. They had a 3 to 1 troop advantage and were supplied with weapons over the past 24 months by the west.
          Stop watching CNN and the west and look at actual battle field reports.

          Western media needs you to believe Ukraine has a chance.

          If you actually listen to *****'s speech, he tells you there first and foremost, their goal is not to destroy infrastructure, cities or kill civillians. If they wanted to do that, all of Ukraine would be leveled within 24 hours. Furthermore, Ukranian nationalist troops are using Ukranians as human shields, and why this is taking longer than necessary.

          Technology wise, Russia has so far sent in the B team. Only in the last week, they are sending in more modern equipment. The troops, are newer, less experienced troops, with the exception of Chechen special forces who are cleaning out Mariopol against the Azov battalion. (though russia has used some of their newer hypersonic missles)

          In the last 3 hours however, they have started leveling more infrastructure and seemingly took the gloves off.

          As far as boxing, it has ZERO to do with it. You also realize that for instance Loma, Usyk, and Gvozdyk are ethnic Russian ukranians and speak Russian as opposed to Ukranian as their primary language. The Klitscho brothers are ethnic Ukranians. This is why Loma caught flack from them in more recent fights.

          In any case, none of them are ANYWHERE near the front lines and occasionally posted for photo ops.

            USA modus operandi is also "level everything first, then send in troops, if civillians die, so be it."

            This is not what Russia is doing or wants to do. Can you imagine if Russia actually leveled a few big Ukrainian cities? the outrage that would happen. Even as per UN, still under 500 civillians were killed in the entire country due to war. We have more than that die from COVID daily in some big states.

              If Ukraine was on its own, they'd have been overrun. I've seen it stated that Ukraine currently has a more technologically advanced military per-capita than any country in the world, including the U.S. For example, much of their army infantry have MANPADS, which the U.S. infantry does not. They are being supplied weapons by nearly every Western country in the world.

                We'll see. Russia has a "targeted" date to win the war. The day they celebrate the end of the ****s. That is coming up quick. At this rate, they look a mess and haven't hit their goals to hit the capital effectively yet. I think people overestimated Russia's military and realize, they're mostly smoke and mirrors behind nuke threats.
