So we will never know if Europeans would have been able to compete with the greatest american heavyweights in boxing's golden age.
    we do know though, the best americans will always wipe the floor with other nations

      Ross Puritty and Tommy Morrison are both from the state of Oklahoma, which is one of the biggest college football areas in the country. If they were being raised in the current era instead of 20 years ago theyd probably be Linebackers instead of Heavyweights.

      We saw what would happen to a Klitschko back when the division was still strong. Purrity beat the living hell out of Wlad and stole his ******ity!

        I'm well aware of that. Look at all the hotspots for boxing in europe right now. Germany, Ukraine, Armenia, Poland....all part of the eastern bloc and at 1 point were not allowed to compete professionally.

          Russia is not the soviet union. The soviet union included 11 countries which include

          Russia, Ukraine, Armenia and Kazakhastan

          These are areas where alot of good fighters come from
