You just for cited a source that basically proved my point, and you're still trying to argue? LMAO.

Yeah, divisions are all of a sudden "dead" when a nationality you don't like is at the top of it.

But when a division is ruled by a person that is of a nationality that you find favorable, all of a sudden it's filled with all time greats that would've ruled past eras with ease.

lmao....owned

well, you guys get the idea.

slavic pride...

[Mikhnienko]

they have pretty much the same genes but a few centuries of constant invasion, communism, poverty, etc will make your young men tougher

that's the great irony about the world, its natural to do your best to give your children spoiled comfortable lives, even though you know it will make them into tolerant bisexual rap music fans who get beat up by macho russian immigrants

The vast majority of American Whites are Western European in origin. There is a huge genetic variance between the two as they are on opposite sides of the continent and have had very little interaction with eachother especially in the last one and a half millenia when proto-nation states started to emerge. They're probably about as varied as you can get while still belonging to the same racial group.

The most predominant Y-Chromosone haplogroup amongst Slavic people is the R1a1a subbranch of the R1a haplogoup. Here is a map of it's distribution.

Adamek ruled CW anyways

The same Adamek that lost to the American Chad Dawson?

Thanks for the vid man.

The fall of American boxing is due to many factors. The main one being that other sports have taken over America, out of the other countries around the world America has the most athletes by far. All of America's would be boxers are playing football, basketball, baseball, etc. It's not hard to figure out why there are no more good American HW's (it has affected the HW divison the most).

It's common sense, no matter if these Eastern Europeans fanboys wants to admit it or not. You still see tons of Americans at the top of their respective divisions in the lower weights because there is a lot less sports that they can make a living in. Big Americans have a surplus of sports and getting punched in the face to make a living is certainly not on the top of it.

Can't people understand there's a difference between patriotism and nationalism?

You can be proud of your own nations achievements without seeing it as proof of your nations genetic or cultural superiority.

If Carl Froch beats Andre Ward it doesn't mean British fighters are better than American fighers. It doesn't mean that White-Europeans are superior to African-Americans. It means Carl Froch is better than Andre Ward.

These are a few months old but essentially accurate. The number of active heavyweight boxers per country:

America- 425
Britain- 38
Canada- 35
Germany- 35
Ukraine-28
Russia- 25
New Zealand- 24
France- 16
Poland- 11
Cuba- 10
Uzbekistan- 9
Nigeria- 7
Italy-6
Bulgaria- 5
Finland- 4

and Combat Sambo, Kickboxing, MMA, Wrestling, Hockey, Rugby Weightlifting, etc take away from potenitial HW talent coming out of Eastern Europe and other parts of the world. Plus most of the sports listed are actual combat sports not ****sexual basketball so a sucessful transition into boxing is more likely. Other sports exist outside of America but even guys like Stewart or Atlas are so bias and desperate that they can't grasp this.

Perhaps one day you Americans can try enforcing affirmative action inside the ropes too so your boxer stand more of a chance. Until then just be silent and stop going out of your way to help prove the rest of the world correct when they say Americans are dumb by using your pitiful excuses.
