For the best part of a 100 years America had the top heavyweight's on the planet, i just wondered what you guys think the reason is for the change ?
Is it that the Europeans have got better or the Americans have got worse ?

The real question is what happened to the heavyweight division overall?

The problem is the lack of top trainers and conditioning coaches in the HW division. Why isn't Freddie Roach or Floyd Mayweather Sr training HW's?

Look at the trainers of Samuel Peter, Chris Arreola, and Eddie Chambers. They don't know how make their fighters fight to their potential.

It's a lack of quality trainers in the HW division. In the lower weight classes, the boxers are in shape and they have good trainers.

Well Adamek in terms of world class level is legit, and Arreola is not.
