What has happend to American heavyweights ?

[Royabeda]

The big guys are playing mostly football or basketball.

And boxing is the only sport that big guys in Europe take up? Didn't think so... it's not exactly the best argument as to why there are no great American heavyweights about

Don't know about that one mate, would the Klitschko bros have beaten Larry Holmes, Holyfield, Tyson & Bowe ? I think not.

This excuse always cracks me up.

I know, as if Europe doesn't have other sports besides boxing for their big guys to go to as well.
Lame excuse.

That's a weak excuse.

Tons of potential Eastern European Heavyweight Boxers are doing Combat Sambo, MMA, Kickboxing, Hockey, Olympic Wrestling, Olympic Weightlifting, Powerlifting, Worlds Strongest Man Competitions, etc.

America isn't the only country on the planet that has other sports you racist moron.

[Sweet Jesus]

Eastern European heavyweights are superior.

When Eastern Europe produce one credible heavyweight outside of the Klitschkos, talk to me.

This excuse always cracks me up.

Hahaha, me too man.

Easter Europeans weren't allowed to turn pro until rcently, that is a much better excuse, and one that is actually true.

Give me one other country that has 2 major sports, let alone 4 like the U.S. has.

The heavyweight division overall sucks, even Emmanuel Steward said that. Eddie Chambers is probably the most skilled HW outside the Klitschko's and he was dominated by Wladimir.

Yesterday I can asset that Chris Arreola doesn't even have a nutritionist and a conditioning trainer in his team.

Eddie Chambers after he defeated Samuel Peter immediately hired a conditioning trainer and a nutritionist, he went from 221 against Samuel Peter to 209 against Alexander Dimitrenko.
