What has happend to American heavyweights ?

[Sweet Jesus]

well ok those bastards bred a little more since last I checked. But you're mostly including inconsequential 3rd world countries. I'm talking about 1st world European countries like Britain, Germany etc.

Russia's population is 150M.

Does this type of thing happen a lot on this forum ? I ask a boxing question & all of a sudden it turns into a load of **** about every other sport.

Russia's not in Europe dumbass. Only a tiny fraction of it is.

They are extinct.

Oh I don't doubt that. I'm just saying, how many other countries do you see dominating their 10th most popular sport?

Look at the size of America.

Your 10th most popular sport still attracts millions. Snooker and Darts surpass Boxing in Britain ffs.

This is pretty pathetic, Yanks. Keep claiming other sports robbing your boxing superstars.

No European's bring that up.

I bet Rooney would be a beast at 160.

Yup, it's the most pathetic excuse I've ever heard. Hey guys, let's claim europeans don't dominate LW to LHW because our athletes are playing football (you know yanks, the most popular sport in the world)

Americans with their inferiority complex.

Go prove me wrong then.

Im just saying. Doesnt change the fact that the overwhelming majority of big men here would think about football miles before he would think about boxing.

Millions? Like Arreola-Adamek having 5K in attendance?

not ALL fighters....just the heavyweights.

bottom line, if you're 6'4" or taller, football and basketball are just more lucrative options than boxing.
